AEK Athens vs Anderlecht Preview

AEK Athens were happy with the outcome of the first leg but it remains a tricky tie. The Greek side pulled off an impressive away stalemate against Anderlecht at Constant Vanden Stock Stadium in Brussels. Striker Kasper Dolberg opened the scoring for the Belgian giants after 21 minutes, but Niclas Eliasson equalised for AEK in the 77th minute.

Dikéfalos are upbeat about a favourable outcome but there are no guarantees considering the zero advantage in the scoreline. The hosts would also be careful not to expose their back line to counterattacks in their efforts for goals. The visitors are very good at that exercise, but it failed to yield fruit in the first leg.

Anderlecht were unable to capitalise on their home advantage despite the thousands of supporters (15,000) who were in attendance to cheer the team. However, they appear determined to progress beyond this stage of the competition and are expected to put up a good fight at OPAP Arena.

The Belgian side will certainly take confidence from their previous impressive record at OPAP Arena. They are yet to lose a match at the venue. In fact, they prevailed 2-1 in their last visit to AEK Athens in a continental clash. In their previous league game, Anderlecht defeated Dender 2-0 in an away fixture.
