Anderlecht - PAOK Thessaloniki FC

Anderlecht host PAOK Thessaloniki FC at Lotto Park on Thursday, 13 August 2026, in the second leg of their Europa League Qualification tie. The home side holds a slender 1-0 advantage from the first leg played on 6 August 2026, where they secured a vital away win. Anderlecht will be looking to build on that momentum and secure their passage to the next round in front of their home supporters.

PAOK Thessaloniki FC arrive at Lotto Park needing to overturn the deficit if they are to progress. They have shown they can score goals, having netted three against Dynamo Kyiv in the previous round. However, Anderlecht also demonstrated their attacking capability with a 3-1 win against Hammarby earlier in their qualification campaign. The tie remains finely balanced, with the aggregate scoreline suggesting a close contest.
