Prediction: 2-2
Anderlecht
Bravida Arena will be the centre of attention when Hacken and Anderlecht lock horns in the return leg of the Europa League second qualifying round. Hacken are low on confidence following an embarrassing 6-1 loss to Djurgarden and, no doubt, they are desperate to give fans something to cheer about. All Lindberg, Layouni, Rygaard, and Svanback return to the starting XI after the quartet was rested in the weekend’s massive defeat.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to defend their one-goal lead in the second leg and they must be high on spirits following a splendid 5-2 win over Westerlo. Given Hacken’s shaky defence and Anderlecht’s fine form at the start of the season, there is a big value in betting on Besnik Hasi’s men. Important attacker Kasper Dolberg returns to the starting line-up, whereas the likes of Camara, Keita, and Sardella remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Team (Anderlecht):
Founded on 27 May, 1908, Anderlecht are considered one of the oldest clubs in Belgium. The Paars-wit are the dominant force in the Belgian Pro League and in 2014 they won their 33rd domestic trophy. Anderlecht did remarkably well to win the UEFA Super Cup title in 1983, with the team defeating Benfica in the final of the competition.
The Belgian outfit recorded a 1-0 over the Eagles in the first leg, with the two teams playing out a 1-1 draw in the return leg. Anderlecht play their home games at Constant Vanden Stock Stadium, the venue that was opened in 1917. The stadium was renovated in 1983 and current capacity of Anderlecht’s home ground is 28 063.
The Paars-wit have long-standing rivalries with the likes of Standard Liege and Club Brugge, whilst FC Brussels were considered the club’s bitter opponents in the past. The likes of Besnik Hasi, Lucas Biglia, Filip De Wilde and Romelu Lukaku are some of Anderlecht’s notable players.
