Player to watch: Anders Dreyer

Anders Dreyer assisted Anderlecht's first goal against Union St Gilloise last week. He is the club's top scorer in the First Division A with 13 goals.

The former Brighton player was directly involved in 15 goals in his last 15 appearances for Anderlecht, scoring 13 times with two assists. He'll likely cause some problems for Mechelen's defence in this game.
