Anderlecht team news
Besnik Hasi is unlikely to make too many changes from the side that eased past Westerlo on Sunday. Basile Vroninks could come into contention after a 45-minute substitute appearance last weekend.
Injured quartet Killian Sardella, Ilay Camara, Cedric Hatenboer and Zoumana Keita are expected to remain sidelined on Thursday.

Prediction
Trailing 1:0 from the first-leg, Hacken must win if they are to have any chance of progression
Hacken come into Thursday's contest looking to bounce back from a disastrous 6:1 home defeat against Djurgarden in the Allsvenskan on Sunday. Following a 1:0 defeat in Belgium last week, the Swedes now face the prospect of a third successive loss.
The hosts have now failed to win each of their last four matches since a three-game winning spell at the start of the month.
Contrastingly, Anderlecht make the trip to Sweden in high spirits after a commanding 5:2 win against Westerlo in the opening day of the Belgian FDA on Sunday. A brace from veteran wideman Thorgan Hazard ensured an impressive victory for Besnik Hasi's side.
A strong run of form sees the Belgians unbeaten in their last seven games, including five friendly fixtures earlier this month. Hasi's men picked up wins in five of their six most recent matches.
I'm backing the Belgians to claim victory in Gothenburg.
3 Reasons We Expect Anderlecht to Win
- Anderlecht won 5 of their last 6 matches
- Anderlecht claimed a 1:0 win in last week's first leg
- Hacken lost their last 2 matches
