Anderlecht vs Ludogorets Prediction and Betting Tips | February 23rd 2023

Anderlecht will host Ludogorets at the Lotto Park on Thursday in the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League playoff tie.

The home side have struggled to impress in their league duties this season but remain hopeful of a deep run on the continental stage. They were beaten 1-0 by their Bulgarian opposition in their first-leg clash last week and will perhaps feel they deserved more from the game after a dominant performance but failed to convert their chances.

Anderlecht will now be looking to shake off their latest results as they hope to turn the tie around on home turf this week.

Ludogorets have performed well in the league this season and now have a foot in the last 16 of the Europa Conference League. They picked up a narrow win in the first leg, with Igor Thiago scoring the sole goal of the game in the opening 10 minutes. They will be determined to finish the job on Thursday.

The visitors picked up a 2-1 win over Slavia Sofia in their league game at the weekend and will aim to build on that momentum this week.
