Anderlecht vs Hoffenheim Betting Tips - Anderlecht to Win
Anderlecht can secure a place in the Europa League round of sixteen on Thursday, with a win good enough to guarantee a place in the top eight of the League Phase.
Currently eighth in the 36-team league, the Belgians have enjoyed a superb campaign, picking up four wins, while losing just one of seven group stage fixtures.
After victories against Ferencvaros (2:1) and Ludogorets (2:0) at Lotto Park, the Purple and White then picked up a creditable 2:2 draw against Porto in their most recent Europa League outing in Brussels.
In contrast, Hoffenheim have endured a difficult season, both domestically and on the European stage. With a lengthy list of unavailable players, the Bundesliga visitors find themselves 29th in the table with only six points picked up from seven games played in the league phase.
A dismal run of form has seen Die Kraichgauer lose seven of their last 12 matches, with only one victory recorded during that period. Hoffenheim also fell to defeat in their last two away Europa League encounters, conceding five goals while scoring none in respective losses at Porto (2:0) and Braga (3:0).
Fighting against relegation domestically, and with qualification for the playoff stage all but out of their reach, the Germans could prove vulnerable against a motivated Anderlecht side with automatic qualification in their grasp.
Considering the hosts' strong form, and Hoffenheim´s injury crisis, I expect the Belgians to secure their place in the top eight with a home victory on Thursday.
