Anderlecht 1-3 Club Brugge result, stats and report

Gent pulled off one of the results of the Belgian Pro League season, beating Club Brugge 2-1 thanks to a late Ibrahima Cissé header that silenced the form book and sent the home crowd into raptures.

Anderlecht controlled large portions of this Belgian Pro League contest but could not convert their superiority into goals, as Genk held firm for a hard-earned point at Lotto Park.

Danylo Sikan's 43rd-minute left-foot finish was enough for Anderlecht to claim a narrow 1-0 home victory over KV Kortrijk, with the visitors offering too little in attack to seriously threaten an equaliser.

Anderlecht arrive at Wednesday's Europa League clash on the back of five straight wins without conceding more than two goals in any game. Lyon, priced as clear favourites, will need to prove they deserve that billing.

Club Brugge host Aston Villa in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday evening, and the question is simple. Who wants it more.

Club Brugge carry one of the most formidable home records in Belgian football into Sunday's clash with Genk, but the visitors arrive with enough attacking intent to make this more than a straightforward exercise.

Anderlecht host Zulte-Waregem on Saturday evening carrying genuine momentum but a defensive question that keeps following them home. This is a fixture with a clear tactical story underneath the surface.
