An intriguing game awaits us on Thursday night in Brussels, where Anderlecht host Häcken in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round.
Anderlecht secured their place in this stage of the competition by finishing fourth in the Belgian Pro League, while the visitors eliminated Spartak Trnava in the first qualifying round last week.
The hosts had a disappointing end to last season, losing the Belgian Cup final 1:0 to rivals Gent and then losing three consecutive Pro League games. Under the management of Besnik Hasi, the team has performed well in pre-season, remaining unbeaten in six games with four victories.
In contrast, Hacken have already started the new Allsvenskan campaign. They currently sit in the top eight, with six wins so far, but have suffered the joint-most defeats of all the sides in the top half of the standings. However, the Hornets go into Thursday’s game on the back of a five-match unbeaten run and will surely be looking to extend it.
Anderlecht vs Häcken Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Häcken are the underdogs heading into this match, but you can’t underestimate the Swedish side when it comes to scoring goals. The Hornets averaged two goals per game over the course of their last five matches and also found the back of the net in each of their last eleven European matches.
Anderlecht scored 14 goals in their six pre-season matches. Considering that the Belgian Pro League side also scored 17 goals in their last nine European matches, Thursday’s game is likely to be an entertaining one and I expect at least three goals.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Anderlecht vs Häcken prediction: 3-1
Anderlecht team news
