Prediction: 0-2
Anderlecht
Dinamo Minsk will be looking to claim a major scalp in the Europa League qualifiers when they take on Anderlecht at Mezokovesdi Varosi Stadion (neutral location). Dinamo Minsk eliminated Lincoln Red Imps of Gibraltar in the third qualifying round, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the Belgian powerhouse. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in Vadim Skripchenko’s team, home win should not be considered as the first leg will be played in Hungary.
Anderlecht, on the other hand, made a promising start to the season and given their fine display in a 3-1 win over Mechelen at the weekend, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Jupiler League outfit. Both Thorgan Hazard and Marco Kana are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side. The two clubs meet for the first time in the Europa League.
