Head-to-Head
📊 The teams have never met before. This will be their first-ever head-to-head meeting.
First Europa League Win
Anderlecht had to wait until matchday three for their first win of the 2026/27 Europa League campaign, beating Jagiellonia 3-0 away from home. Those were their first points of the competition, following defeats at Dinamo Zagreb (0-1) and at home to Lyon (1-2). The Belgian side sit 22nd in the table with three points and a 4-3 goal difference.
Anderlecht’s form this season has been mixed, with home advantage making a significant difference. They thrashed Westerlo 4-1 at home in the Belgian league but lost 4-0 away to Gent. Across their last ten home matches, Anderlecht have won eight and lost just one; their last ten away games have brought five wins and five defeats. The pattern has been similar in Europe. After those setbacks, Vítor Bruno adjusted his tactics, dropping the defenders deeper and asking winger Onia-Seke to track back and support them.
Match Results: RSC Anderlecht
A strong start, then a slump
RB Salzburg made a strong start to their Europa League campaign with a 1-0 away win over Levski. Results have since dipped: they were thrashed 4-0 by Milan before drawing 2-2 with Celje after surrendering a two-goal lead. The Austrian side sit 21st in the Europa League table with four points and a goal difference of 3:6.
Things are going much better domestically. RB Salzburg are unbeaten in the Bundesliga, with eight wins and three draws, and trail leaders Rapid by just three points. They have also gone ten away matches without defeat, winning six, including their last two. Goals have not been a problem either: they have scored in nine of their last ten matches. RB Salzburg have hit their stride in their two most recent league games, winning by a combined score of 8-2, with Tabaković scoring a hat-trick against LASK in a 3-1 victory. In the Europa League, though, taking the lead has not always been enough.
