Jarno Jourquin and Senda Mukandila scored to give them a 2-0 lead by the 25th minute but Xander Martle and Elhadji Kone scored to draw the game level at the break. Kone completed his brace two minutes into the second half to turn the game around.
The East Flanders outfit will turn their focus to the Cup and booked their spot at this stage with a 2-1 victory over Francs Borain. Anderlecht received a bye to this stage.

Anderlecht vs Ninove Prediction
Anderlecht have made an inconsistent start to their season, having been knocked out of the Conference League Qualifiers, and are already 10 points off the pace in their league. Hasi Besnik's side tend to start games slowly, with four of their last five games witnessing more goals scored in the second half than the first.
Ninove have lost their last three games on the bounce and the odds are heavily stacked against them ending that run of defeats. They are just one point off relegation and might prioritize avoiding the drop over making a deep run in the Cup.
Anderlecht have not been at their best but should still have too much firepower for a third division outfit.
Prediction: Anderlecht 3-0 Ninove
