Anderlecht vs Sheriff Prediction

Les Mauve et Blanc bounced back with a 2-0 win over Cercle Brugge in the Belgian Pro League last week after their exit from the Europa League qualifiers. Thorgan Hazard continued his fine form and scored from the penalty spot in the first half.

The Wasps returned to winning ways after five games last week and will look to continue that form here. They have lost their four away games in European qualifiers, conceding 11 goals, which is a cause for concern.

Paars-wit have a good recent home record and should be able to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Anderlecht 2-1 Sheriff
