- Competition: Europa League
- Date: Thursday, 28th November 2024
- Kickoff: 17:45 UK / 18:45 CET
- Venue: Lotto Park (Anderlecht)
On Thursday evening, we will have one of the most exciting games in the Europa League round, in which Anderlecht and Porto meet at Lotto Park. After four phenomenal rounds, the Belgian side is a top-eight team with ten points, while Porto urgently needs points as they have collected only four so far. The upcoming game could mean a lot for both sides.
Anderlecht are playing well in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League, too, as they are currently fourth on the table with 26 points from 15 matches. David Hubert's team is looking great lately, with four wins in the last five matches in all competitions. Last weekend, they won 6-0 at home against Gent. The home side completely outplayed their opponents, so they will welcome Porto with confidence.
While Porto are not on their level with only four points from four matches, in the Portuguese League, they are second on the table with 27 points from 11 matches. Porto are currently in a crisis as they lost three straight games in all competitions. In the last match, they lost 2-1 on the road in the cup against Moreirense. The head coach, Vitor Bruno, mixed up Porto's lineup, but it was still surprising to see them losing in Moreira de Conegos.
Anderlecht vs Porto pick: Over 2.5 goals
Anderlecht scored 20 goals in the last four matches. On the other hand, Porto allowed eight goals in the previous three games. We should expect three or more goals in the upcoming tie at Lotto Park.
Anderlecht team news
Anderlecht have some problems with missing players. They will be without Majeed Ashimeru, Thorgan Hazard, Jan Vertonghen, and Ludwig Augustinsson. We shouldn't expect the head coach, David Hubert, to field a similar lineup that trashed Gent last weekend.
