Anderlecht vs Hacken prediction
Anderlecht, coached by Besnik Hasi, managed to squeeze themselves into the top four of the Belgian Jupiler Pro League last season, finishing fourth in the table. The 34-time Belgian champions reached the knockout playoffs of the UEFA Europa Conference League last season.
They now face a Hacken side that have underwhelmed domestically since winning the Swedish Allsvenskan title in 2023. However, they have started this European campaign well with an entertaining 3-2 aggregate defeat of Spartak Trnava in the first qualifying round, winning by a goal to nil in Slovakia and then sharing a 2-2 draw in Sweden.
Hacken, whilst improved, did show major flaws and vulnerabilities in that tie, so siding with Anderlecht would appear the way to go for this one in Belgium.
