Ilay Camara remains optimistic about RSC Anderlecht’s chance to influence the title race in the Jupiler Pro League. Despite trailing behind leaders Club Brugge and Union, the right-back is determined to close the gap before the playoffs begin.
Setting the Stage for the Playoffs
Camara emphasized the urgency of winning upcoming matches. “We want to win to catch up before the points are redistributed,” he stated in an interview with RTBF. He acknowledged that starting the playoffs with a five-point deficit could lead to unexpected outcomes.
RSC Anderlecht is not only focusing on the league but also aims to excel in other objectives, including the upcoming cup final. “Do you really think the playoffs are beyond us because we have the cup in sight? There are still ten matches to play, cup final or not,” he asserted.

His confidence is notable, even as he prepares for a challenging match against the speedy wingers of Club Brugge, like Christos Tzolis and Carlos Forbs.
Teammate Praise and Predictions
Camara is unphased by the competition, declaring, “I am not afraid of anyone.” He even highlighted his teammate, Thorgan Hazard, calling him the best player in the league. “Thorgan scores, he is in top form, and he works hard for the team,” he remarked.
