RSC Anderlecht
- RSC Anderlecht have won two, drawn two and lost two of their six home matches in all competitions, a mixed record so far.
- They drew 0-0 with Boulogne, beat Dutch side NEC Nijmegen 3-2 and were held 1-1 by Hammarby in their most recent three games, so there has been little in the way of a home advantage in those games to date.
Hammarby IF
- Hammarby have won four and drawn one of their last five matches, a great run that has them in good shape.
- They beat Degerfors IF 4-0 in their most recent home game before the 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture, so they are in decent shape and shouldn't be underestimated in this game.
Head-to-Head
RSC Anderlecht and Hammarby IF drew 1-1 in the first leg and the return fixture is on a knife-edge .
Key Players
- Danylo Sikan leads Anderlecht's scoring charts in UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026 with one goal in one game and has scored four of their goals in the last five games, so he is the sharpest finisher that Bruno has at his disposal.
- Paulos Abraham has four goals in his last five for Hammarby, although Frank Junior Adjei, who has one in one, has a slight edge over the Finn.
Betting Insights
- RSC Anderlecht come into this game as the narrow favorite, but with Hammarby having picked up four wins and one draw in their last five outings, it feels more like a game on a European knife-edge than a home lock for Anderlecht.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.78 looks good and both teams to score at 1.65 has merit, but Anderlecht are the slight pick at 2.08, with Hammarby coming in at 3.16 and the draw at 3.6.
Prediction
A narrow Anderlecht win or another scoring draw feels the most likely outcome, although this is Hammarby 's time to land the decisive blow.
