Anderlecht is currently in poor form, having picked up just one point in their last five matches, falling out of the title race but still holding onto fourth place in the standings. Their main consolation at the moment is reaching the Belgian Cup final, but their domestic league situation urgently needs to be addressed, otherwise the club risks finishing outside the top six in the regular season.
La Louviere is a newcomer to the league and is currently second-to-last in the standings. They still have a chance to escape the relegation group; the team has been picking up points recently, but now they've seen a relapse.
Anderlecht urgently needs a win, and the team could use the momentum from their cup success to improve their performance.
