Anderlecht vs Hammarby Prediction 30 July 2026
🔊 Anderlecht host Hammarby in the second leg of the Europa League second qualifying round. The first match in Stockholm ended 1-1, though the Belgians played most of the final stretch with ten men after Nathan Saliba was sent off. Now the home advantage shifts to one of Belgium's most decorated clubs - but the Swedes have already shown they can make this difficult.
Head-to-Head
📊 Danil Sikan's early goal forced the hosts to chase the game from the off, pushing them to play more aggressively. They dominated possession (56%) and had twice as many shots (12:6), but it only paid off in the dying minutes - Frank Adjei equalised on 89.
Head-to-head statistics Anderlecht - Hammarby
RSC Anderlecht Team Overview
Vitor Bruno's side got a decent result in the first leg, all things considered. They went ahead in the fifth minute, and after Nathan Saliba's red card the Belgians had to defend with ten men for the best part of half an hour. They couldn't hold on. Frustrating, but given the circumstances it's not a bad outcome for Anderlecht - especially as it was their first competitive match of the new season.
The main advantage for the hosts is their own ground. At Lotto Park, Anderlecht will likely be far more comfortable - looking to control the ball from the off and press the opposition into mistakes. They don't need to throw caution to the wind either; any win puts them through. The club have also scored in 12 of their last 13 matches, seven of which were at home. That said, there's another side to it: Anderlecht have gone eight of their last nine competitive games without a win, and they've conceded in 17 straight matches. That's why the bookmakers aren't treating them as clear favourites for the second leg.
Match Results: RSC Anderlecht
Hammarby Team Overview
The Swedish side will be frustrated not to have won at home. After a slow start, Henrik Rydström's team gradually took control, created the better chances, and earned their equaliser late on. The second half, in particular, should give them something to build on ahead of the trip to Belgium.
Unlike Anderlecht, this was far from Hammarby's first competitive match of the season. At the weekend they played their 14th Swedish league fixture away at Brommapojkarna, drawing 1-1. They sit second in the table - some way behind the leaders, but unbeaten in their last five across all competitions: three wins followed by two draws. They haven't conceded more than once in any of those games, which says something about the defensive shape. They've also scored in 14 of their last 15 matches, so given the form of both sides, calling Hammarby clear underdogs in Belgium would be a stretch.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
The first leg showed the gap between these two sides isn't as wide as many expected. Still, home advantage now becomes the key factor. Anderlecht got some rhythm back, and the Lotto Park crowd should help them play with more confidence in the final third.
Hammarby will look to exploit the hosts' weaknesses again - pressing hard and hitting on the counter. Holding up against Anderlecht's pressure for ninety minutes, though, is a different ask.
The main prediction is Both Teams To Score - Yes. It's landed in 12 of Anderlecht's last 13 matches. This won't be easy for the hosts, but experience and home ground give the Belgian side the edge going through. Predicted score: 2-1.
