Anderlecht host Red Bull Salzburg tonight at 6.45pm on the fourth matchday of the Europa League. The Brussels side are 22nd with 3 points, Salzburg have 4, Sporza reports. Coach Vitor Bruno refused at his press conference to answer questions about his position, after CEO Kenneth Bornauw said he was not entirely satisfied with recent weeks. Anderlecht were knocked out of the cup by Beerschot and lost heavily in Gent. Thelo Aasgaard and Marten Winkler are doubtful. The top game against Club Brugge follows on Sunday.

Union play Celta in Vigo at 9pm. The Brussels club have 7 points from three games and are sixth, Celta have 3, Sports Mole reports. Coach David Hubert said his side are going for the three points, according to Minuto Noventa. Captain Kamiel Van de Perre has recovered from an eye injury, but Kevin Mac Allister and Mateo Biondic are among the absentees.

In the Conference League, Gent play at KuPS in Finland at 6.45pm on the third matchday. The Buffalos have 3 points and are without the seriously injured Christian Burgess, Sporza reports. Coach Rik De Mil expects an artificial pitch and a half-empty stadium but does not want to use that as an excuse. STVV, seventh with 6 points, host SK Brann at 9pm. Interim coach Sepp De Roover may have to do without defender Kota Takai, Voetbalkrant writes, citing Het Nieuwsblad.

All the matches are shown live: Anderlecht and Union on Canvas and VRT MAX, Gent and STVV on Play Sports 5, Voetbalkrant reports.
