Hammarby will look to make home advantage count when they take on Anderlecht in the first leg of the Europa League second qualifying round. The Swedish side are in the middle of their domestic campaign and head into the clash full of confidence after an emphatic 4-0 victory over Degerfors. Winger Montader Madjed stole the show with a brace and will be the player to watch once again. Hammarby have been particularly impressive at home, winning four of their last five matches while averaging 2.8 goals scored and conceding only 0.6 per game. Defender Victor Eriksson is available again after serving a domestic suspension, although midfielder Sourou Kone remains sidelined through injury.
Anderlecht, meanwhile, are still fine-tuning their preparations for the new Belgian season. The visitors have built momentum with three consecutive preseason victories, but they suffered a major blow this summer after top scorer Thorgan Hazard completed a move to Lens. Despite their recent friendly results, Anderlecht's competitive form towards the end of last season was far from convincing, with just three wins from their last ten matches. Defensively, they have struggled, conceding 2.2 goals per game over that period and failing to keep a single clean sheet. Even so, the Belgian giants possess enough quality and European experience to make life difficult for the hosts.
As Hammarby are in excellent home form and arrive with greater competitive rhythm, Home Win should be considered, alongside Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 goals (both sides favour attacking football, and Anderlecht's defensive struggles could contribute to a high-scoring encounter).
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 23 July 2026 at 18:00.
