Anderlecht Struggles in Belgian Pro League Playoffs

The Anderlecht team, featuring the player known as Chino Huerta, remains in fourth position in the playoffs in Belgium with 26 points after three matchdays. Currently, they are distanced from Union St. Gilloise, who occupies third place with 37 points. Anderlecht has had a difficult start in the playoffs, losing their first three matches.

In their first match, Anderlecht lost 0-2 against Club Brugge, a team that performed well in the Champions League. In the following two matches, they also suffered defeats, 1-2 and 0-2 respectively. This weekend, Anderlecht will face Royal Antwerp at Lotto Park, and a loss could complicate their position in the standings.

Although Chino Huerta scored an important goal in the match against Genk, it was not enough for Anderlecht to achieve victory. The team needs to improve its performance if it wants to stay in the race for qualification, even if they cannot win the championship this season.

Anderlecht's next match, in which the defense of the fourth position in the standings will be at stake, will take place on April 20, 2025, at Lotto Park, Brussels. Anderlecht will seek its first victory in the playoffs to ensure its participation in European competitions next season.
