🏟 Lotto Park (Anderlecht)

Anderlecht and Ferencváros enter this Europa League phase as underdogs, both having had to navigate the preliminary qualifying rounds. Anderlecht’s preparation has been far from ideal, having sacked coach Brian Riemer due to poor early-season performances. Their caretaker, David Hubert, expressed optimism but was disappointed by a goalless draw at home against Charleroi, marking four winless matches in a row (D3, L1). Scoring has been a significant issue for Anderlecht, with just five goals in six home games this season, which might dampen expectations for an immediate turnaround.

Ferencváros, on the other hand, come into the competition with a slight advantage after reaching the knockout stages of the Conference League last season. However, their away form in the Europa League has been dismal, with just one win in their last nine away games (W1, D1, L7). The Hungarian side will hope to break this trend but can draw some encouragement from their unbeaten record against Belgian opposition (W2, D4).
