Anderlecht will be looking to build on their 0-3 Matchday Three victory at Jagiellonia, when they host Austrian side RB Salzburg in a crucial Europa League matchup this Thursday.
That victory in Poland gave Anderlecht their first points of the campaign and has reignited belief that they can make a serious push for a qualification place. Domestically, Anderlecht are still searching for their best form. Despite the convincing 4-1 victory over Westerlo at the weekend, Vítor Bruno's side are still eight points behind leaders Brugge in the Belgian Pro League.
Salzburg have made a steady start to their Europa League campaign. The 1-1 draw at Celje on Matchday Three means they have picked up five points from their opening three games. Their form in the Austrian League has also been solid, and Sunday's 5-1 thrashing of Lustenau means they are now just three points off the top spot.

Our Anderlecht vs Salzburg Prediction
There have been a lot of goals in recent Salzburg games, and we are expecting more of the same on Thursday night.
Anderlecht have also been involved in their fair share of high scoring contests so far this season, so we think the sensible option here is to look at the total goals markets.
The odds of 3.85 on the game having over 4.5 goals hold some appeal, but the safer choice is to take the 2.30 on the teams combining for at least four goals.
Our prediction for Anderlecht vs RB Salzburg is: Over 3.5 goals.
