Europa League
The only H2H game ever between these two teams was last week, when it was 1-1 at 3Arena in Stockholm. Anderlecht took an early lead that time, while Hammarby were slightly better in the rest of the match. Their persistence paid off with a late second-half equalizer, and the Swedish outfit will travel to Belgium confident they can secure another positive result.
Anderlecht team overview
Anderlecht are no longer among the title contenders in Belgium, but they were almost regularly a top-four team in the previous seasons. Anderlecht will come into the 2026/27 campaign with ambitions to return to the top of domestic football, but realistically, some other teams seem stronger. What gives Anderlecht confidence is their preseason, in which they remained unbeaten with three wins from four matches.
Last season, Anderlecht didn't have success in the international competitions. First, they lost in the Europa League qualifiers against Hacken, while a few weeks later, Anderlecht lost to AEK Athens in the deciding match for a place in the Conference League. Returning to one of the European leagues is one of the priorities for Anderlecht in the 2026/27 season.
Anderlecht's Nathan-Dylan Saliba received a red card last week against Hammarby and will serve a suspension in the rematch. Besides the midfielder, the Belgian team will also be without injured Lucas Hey, Killian Sarbella, Ilay Camara, and Cedric Hatenboer on Thursday against Hammarby.

Hammarby team overview
Hammarby are one of the most consistent football teams in Sweden in recent years. After the second position in Allsvenskan in 2025, they are on course for the same position in the current campaign, too. Hammarby have been excellent lately, with five games in a row without defeat. The worst match in the run was last weekend, when they played only 1-1 on the road against Brommapojkarna. Henrik Rydstrom's team deserved more that time, as they had 65% ball possession and 24 shots on the opponents' goal, but the hosts punished them for so many missed opportunities.
While Hammarby have been one of the best Allsvenskan teams in recent years, they still were far from a good team at the European level. Interestingly, the team from Stockholm never played in the group phase of any international competition and will try to change that in the current campaign. Last year, Hammarby won against Charleroi in the Conference League qualifications, but on the next step, they lost against Rosenborg.
Injured Sourou Kone should be the only one unavailable for the upcoming trip to Belgium.

Prediction
Both teams played well recently. However, it is worth noting that Hammarby have some problems away from home. They have won only once in the last five road games. In the first leg last week in Sweden, it was 1-1, but on Thursday night, Anderlecht will be the host and should exploit that to win against Hammarby.
3 Reasons why Anderlecht should win against Hammarby
- Anderlecht are unbeaten in five games this summer, including preseason
- Anderlecht conceded only three goals in five matches this summer
- Hammarby won only once in the last five road games
