BK Hacken vs R.S.C. Anderlecht Prediction 31 July 2025

Häcken will be looking to overturn a one-goal deficit after narrowly losing the first leg, but the Swedish side comes into this match in poor spirits. Just days ago, they were thrashed 1-6 by Djurgården in the Allsvenskan — a result that underlines their shaky form. Although the Wasps did get past Spartak Trnava in the previous round (2-2 away, 1-0 home), they are currently a mid-table team in Sweden, far removed from their better days.

Anderlecht, meanwhile, appear to be gaining momentum. They began the 2025/26 Belgian season with an emphatic 5-2 win over Westerlo, showing attacking flair and confidence. Their pre-season also featured a steady run of performances, including wins and draws against White Star Lauwe (3-1), AEK Larnaca (2-2), Aris (1-0), Raków (2-2), and Dordrecht (5-0). While they may not be at full competitive sharpness just yet, the Lilac-and-White squad looks solid and versatile.

Häcken are likely to take the initiative at home, pushing forward in hopes of overturning the deficit. However, Anderlecht have enough quality and attacking depth to exploit the spaces left behind. With both teams carrying attacking potential and defensive vulnerabilities, a high-tempo, goal-rich encounter is expected. A score draw or a narrow away win with goals from both sides seems the likeliest outcome.
