Anderlecht continue the quest for Europa League qualification this Thursday in the second leg of their tie against BK Hacken.
The Jupiler Pro League side are taking a 1-0 lead to Gothenburg thanks to a 35th-minute goal from talismanic striker Kasper Dolberg in the first leg.
Many predicted that Anderlecht would have put the tie to bed before a visit to Sweden, but everything is still to play for.
Below, we preview BK Hacken vs Anderlecht, providing some online betting tips to help with your midweek bets on football.
BK Hacken vs Anderlecht Preview
After the narrow first-leg win for Anderlecht, the two sides endured contrasting fortunes in their weekend matches.
Anderlecht kicked off their 2025-26 Jupiler Pro League campaign in superb style, claiming a 5-2 home win over Westerlo, with creative forward Thorgan Hazard netting a brace.
BK Hacken also played a league match in front of their own fans, but were instead on the receiving end of a demoralising 6-1 defeat to Djurgarden.
Two red cards did not help matters, though the side from Gothenburg were already 4-0 down before the first sending off.
So this match now takes on extra significance for BK Hacken, as another heavy defeat on home soil would be disastrous in the extreme. Furthermore, they are on a run of four games without a win, which is a serious concern.
If Anderlecht manage to grab an early goal on Thursday evening, you really do fear for the hosts.
BK Hacken vs Anderlecht Odds
*All odds are subject to change
Anderlecht are favourites going into the second leg, priced at 1.95 to claim the win. A BK Hacken victory is priced at 3.16, while the draw – which would be enough for Anderlecht to progress on aggregate – is at odds of 3.45.
BK Hacken vs Anderlecht Betting Tips
Anytime Goalscorer – Kasper Dolberg @ 2.10
Dolberg was rested for the entirety of the victory over Westerlo, with Luis Vazquez starting in his place. But the Danish centre forward should return to the starting XI for this fixture – and we are backing him to make it two goals in two consecutive European contests.
Anytime Goalscorer Double Chance – Kasper Dolberg OR Thorgan Hazard @ 1.62
But if you want to take less of a risk on a goalscorer bet, this could be the road to go down. Fresh from a double against Westerlo, Hazard looks on top form and stopping him in full flow may prove to be a tall order for BK Hacken’s wounded defence.
Anderlecht to win and over 2.5 goals in the match @ 2.98
As mentioned above, if Anderlecht score early in this match (perhaps through Dolberg or Hazard!) BK Hacken’s already low confidence levels could see the Belgian side stroll to victory. The Swedish outfit have conceded 31 goals in 17 league matches this year, and now have a goal difference of -6!
