Expect Anderlecht to line up in their usual 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, the shape that's been their bread and butter for years — though we're only predicting, not confirming, given the coach's name didn't surface in the brief. The midfield double pivot will look to control the tempo, with the wide forwards stretching a Beveren defence that, frankly, we know nothing about. That's the problem for the home side: Anderlecht's attacking patterns are well-documented, their pressing traps are a known quantity, but Beveren's setup is a blank page. If they sit in a low block, Anderlecht have the patience and the set-piece threat to break it down. If they try to press high, they'll get carved open by runners in the half-spaces. Either way, the game state favours the visitors. Beveren will likely park the bus and hope for a set-piece or a counter, but Anderlecht's quality in the final third — even on an off day — should tell. The key battle will be in the wide areas: Anderlecht's full-backs pushing high, Beveren's wingers forced to track back, and the second balls in midfield becoming a dogfight.
