Hacken vs Anderlecht Prediction
Hacken were comprehensively thrashed over the weekend. Their fans will be hoping for an immediate response from the squad. The Swedish outfit have been out of sorts in recent weeks, losing each of their last two games.
Anderlecht ended last season by losing their last four games across competitions. However, they have started the new campaign on a bright note, particularly in the league, where their class showed over the weekend. The Violets would have been disappointed not to have claimed a more comfortable lead in the first leg, but still have their destiny in their hands.
Although one side could nick a win, back the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
