Eupen welcome Anderlecht to the Kehrwegstadion for a Jupiler League matchday nine fixture on Sunday (September 30).
The hosts are coming off a 2-1 defeat at 10-man Gent last weekend. Eupen went ahead through Milos Pantovic and had a further boost when Gift Orban was sent off for Genk. However, second-half strikes from Sven Kums and Tarik Tissoudali saw the Buffaloes turn the game around.
Anderlecht, meanwhile, shared the soils in a 1-1 home draw with Club Brugge. They went ahead through Kasper Dolberg's 40th-minute goal, but Andreas Skov Olsen levelled the game for Brugge in the 64th minute.
The draw left the Purple and White in fourth spot, having garnered 15 points from eight games. Eupen, meanwhile, sit in 11th place with 10 points to show for their efforts after eight outings.

Eupen vs Anderlecht Prediction
Anderlecht have hit a snag in recent weeks. Their run of three successive draws has seen other teams catch up and pass them in the standings. Brian Riemer's side have the advantage of not playing European football, unlike the teams directly around them, so they should ostensibly take advantage of that.
Eupen, meanwhile, are underdogs on paper and have lost their last three games on. They have also lost their last four games against Anderlech, though. Considering the same, expect the visitors to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
Prediction: Eupen 1-2 Anderlecht
