Why We Like This Bet

Anderlecht’s home advantage could prove decisive in this first leg. Although PAOK have shown excellent form and possess dangerous attacking players, they will not have their impressive home record behind them in Brussels.The Belgian side need to take an advantage into the second leg in Thessaloniki, and Lotto Park should provide an important boost. Sikan’s current form also gives Anderlecht a genuine threat in attack. We expect a closely fought contest, but Anderlecht should have enough quality to secure a narrow victory.

Prediction: Anderlecht 2-1 PAOK
