Viktoria is approaching the start of the seventh round of the main stage of the Europa League in 17th place in the standings. As you can see, the Czech team avoided a complete failure, but also failed to really take off. In six matches played, they managed to score nine points.

Only in the last game before the break was there a setback, when they failed to cope with Manchester United on their home field (1:2).

The upcoming match will feature opponents of comparable class in many ways. Victoria has the home field factor on their side, but the Czechs have not played official matches since mid-December. Anderlecht has full game practice, plays successfully in away matches in the Europa League and has not lost in the tournament yet. We think that the visitors are capable of getting at least a draw today, even taking into account the significant losses in the squad.
Our prediction is Anderlecht will not lose at odds of 1.73
