Anderlecht vs R. Union SG Prediction
Anderlecht would be smarting from losing the cup final, which was their sole shot at claiming a trophy this season. However, they have all but secured their spot in the Conference League playoff and still have an outside shot at finishing in the top three.
Royale Union ended the regular season in third spot. They seemed to have learned their lessons from recent seasons that saw them capitulate in the playoffs. Sebastian Pocognoli's side have been the dominant side this time around as they chase down a first league title in nine decades. They hold just a one-point advantage over defending champions Club Brugge and cannot afford any slip-ups with three games to go.
We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow win in addition to a clean sheet.
