After an intensifying 1-1 draw in the first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League play-off round, AEK Athens is determined to complete the job this time when they play host to Anderlecht at OPAP Arena in the return leg. Let's head into the match prediction.
AEK Athens made a perfect start to the 2025-26 Super League Greece season. In the league opener, they saw off the threat of Panserraikos, securing a 2-0 home win.
Before this, the Double-Headed-Eagle managed to capitalise on Anderlecht's profligacy in the final third. In the first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference, they held their opponents to a 1-1 draw.
Going 1-0 down in the first half, they managed to find the equalizer in the 74th minute to force a 1-1 draw on the road.
Anderlecht comes into this match with a fresh pair of legs. The visitors did not participate in any league action over the weekend as preparation for the return leg in the UEFA Europa Conference League.
The Purple and White registered 20 shots at goal and had ten on target, but failed to win their game against Athens. As mentioned, the result ended in a 1-1 draw.
In the return leg, they will aim to avoid elimination from Europe's third-tier competition. That should be an easy task considering they have avoided defeat in their last three away competitive games.

Our AEK Athens vs Anderlecht Prediction
AEK Athens benefited from Anderlecht's toothless display in the final third and is out to punish the Belgium side in front of their home crowd. They have avoided defeat in their last four home matches across all competitions (W3, D1).
No team huffed and puffed like Anderlecht in the first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League play-off round. They had 2.18 xG (expected goals) but failed to find the winning goal. Considering their struggle in the final third, this could turn out to be another low-scoring affair. Our AEK Athens vs Anderlecht prediction: under 2.5.
