Union (home)
- Anderlecht have failed to win any of their last three away matches against Union, who have won four of the last five.
- Union have conceded 0 goals in one home league game, while Anderlecht have scored 0 in one away.
- David Hubert has kept the three-man defense and wing-back system ticking over at Union since being named head coach on 13 October 2025 while Vitor Bruno has brought a modern, more footballing style to Anderlecht since he took the helm on 1 July 2026.
- These two clubs are sitting in seventh and 10th place in the Pro League 2026/2027 after picking up four and three points from their first two games, respectively.
Anderlecht (away)
- RSC Anderlecht will head into Sunday's game at Stade Joseph Marien in good shape after winning four and losing just one of their previous five matches, but they will have to be at the top of their game to turn the tables on a side that have dominated this Brussels derby in recent years.
- Anderlecht have won two and lost one of their last three on the road.
- David Hubert has kept the three-man defense and wing-back system ticking over at Union since being named head coach on 13 October 2025 while Vitor Bruno has brought a modern, more footballing style to Anderlecht since he took the helm on 1 July 2026.
Head-to-Head
- Anderlecht have failed to win any of their last three away matches against Union, who have won four of the last five.
- Anderlecht, meanwhile, have recorded a 1-0 loss at SK Beveren in the Pro League 2026/2027 before beating Kairat Almaty 3-0 away in UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026.
Key Players
- Darius Olaru is Union's key man in attack and his 1 goal in 1 Pro League appearance gives him the edge over Les Mauves top scorer Adriano Bertaccini, who has 1 goal to his name.
- But Anderlecht's Danylo Sikan is in top form with three goals in his last five games as Les Mauves have scored nine goals during that spell.
- Ali Maamar has added some craft to their midfield and has provided one assist in two Pro League 2026/2027 games so far this season.
Betting Insights
- The home side is coming in at 1.7, while the visitors are available at 4.5 and the draw is at 3.85 - a range of odds that are hard to split.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.73 and Both Teams To Score Yes at 1.67 also suggests the game could open up, but if it tightens up then Both Teams To Score No at 2.05 could be a better option.
Prediction
We'll chance Anderlecht at the double odds, as it's clear from recent results that the home team are not running away with anything and this is more likely to be a competitive Brussels derby than a home stroll.
