Anderlecht is only sixth in the Belgian league, but started well in the Europa League. They began the group stage with a 2-1 home win against Ferencvaros, but surprised more with their victory by the same result as a guest against Real Sociedad. Two seasons ago, they managed to eliminate Ludogorets in the Conference League, winning 3-1 after extra time in the second leg at home.
Ludogorets remained without scoring a goal in the tournamentLudogorets once again dominates the Bulgarian league, where they have only conceded one goal this season, winning their last matches by 1 and 2-0. However, in Europe, it's a different story. In their two matches so far in the group, they haven't even scored a goal, despite a goalless draw in their visit to Viktoria Plzen, where they even missed a penalty. It was taken by Jakub Piątek, who is currently injured and out of action. In their other group match, they lost 0-2 at home to Slavia Prague.
Prediction: under 3.5 goals, Anderlecht to winScoring goals in the Europa League remains a problem for Ludogorets, although they have not been conceding goals easily lately. If there is a winner in this match, I would definitely choose Anderlecht, who have started the tournament excellently.
