Anderlecht could concede more ground to leaders Club Brugge
Club Brugge v Mouscron
FreeSports, 1.30pm Tuesday
Club Brugge hold a commanding lead in the Belgian league but don’t expect them to take their foot off the gas against a Mouscron side who are finding form.
Mouscron have won their last two league games but mustered just one goal in their last four away games, while Brugge have won all their ten home matches this term.
Recommendation
Club Brugge to win to nil
2pts 10-11 Paddy Power
Key stat
Club Brugge have won their last three league matches by an aggregate score of 11-1.

Zulte Waregem v Charleroi
5pm Tuesday
Charleroi’s title hopes suffered a damaging blow with a 1-0 defeat at Gent in midweek but they can ensure they keep runaway league leaders Club Brugge up to their work with victory at Zulte Waregem.
Charleroi’s success this season has come as something of a surprise. Felice Mazzu’s men finished sixth last term and require just 11 points from their final ten matches to surpass their points tally from 12 months ago.
The highflying visitors have endured just three league defeats and their slip-up at Gent ended an eight-match unbeaten run.
However, Charleroi offered plenty of resistance in defeat and they are unlikely to find the challenge of Zulte, who are winless in seven league matches, anywhere near as difficult.
In fact, the hosts have picked up just four points in their last 12 matches and are quite fortunate that rock-bottom Eupen are finding wins hard to come by.
Genk, Gent and Antwerp have all left Waregem packing all three points within the last month and there's little to like about Francky Dury's strugglers at their current price.
Charleroi are the class act and a trio of away wins at fifth-placed Antwerp, Waasland-Beveren and Belgian giants Anderlecht prior to their Gent flop suggests they are capable of returning to winning ways.
Iranian forward Kaveh Rezaei is likely to have his say and the instrumental Cristian Benavente could boss things from midfield.
Charleroi should oblige but backing them with the draw no bet offers some tasty insurance.
Recommendation
Charleroi draw no bet

Anderlecht v FreeSports, 7.30pm Tuesday
Anderlecht and Gent have met three times in the last calendar year without a goal being scored and there is little to choose between the sides.
Gent have not lost in the league since October, but are five points behind third-placed Anderlecht, who returned to winning ways against Eupen after losing to top two Brugge and Charleroi.
Recommendation
Draw
1pt 5-2 bet365, Betway, BoyleSports
Key stat
Gent have won one of their last 24 league visits to Anderlecht.
