Anderlecht will hope to make their home form count as they host AEK Athens in the playoffs of the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League. This first-leg match will be played on Thursday at Lotto Park, and our prediction is a win for the home side. The winner of this two-legged tie will proceed to the league phase.
The Belgians started their European journey in the second qualifying round of the Europa League, where they lost via penalties. A drop down to this tournament saw them defeat Sheriff Tiraspol in the third qualifying round before qualifying for the playoffs. The Greeks started in the second qualifying round of this tournament and overcame Hapoel Be'er Sheva and Aris Limassol to reach this stage.
Anderlecht won 2-0 away from home in the Jupiler Pro League last weekend, making it their third victory in five competitive games (W3, D1, L1). Playing in front of home fans should bring the best out of their game, as Anderlecht won four of their last five home fixtures in all competitions.
Athens’ only competitive action this season has been in this competition. They drew 1-1 during regular time against Aris in the previous round. That was their third stalemate in a row, although going back to the friendlies, Athens are unbeaten in seven games (W4, D3).

Our Anderlecht vs AEK Athens Prediction
Anderlecht have a positive record against Athens, winning three and drawing two of their five matches. All those games were played between 2006 and 2011, though, which means recent form could take precedence. Thankfully for the Belgians, three wins and a draw from their last five fixtures is good enough, as is their recent home record of four wins out of five. Athens could struggle to put an end to that streak, going by how their recent trips panned out.
It could be Anderlecht’s chance to shine, and our Anderlecht vs AEK Athens prediction is Anderlecht wins the match.
