Anderlecht prepares for Europa League clash with Hammarby

RSC Anderlecht will host Swedish side Hammarby in the second leg of their Europa League qualifying tie on Thursday in Belgium, following a 1‑1 draw in Stockholm. Coach Vitor Bruno has emphasized youth, giving debuts to teenagers such as Joshua Nga Kana, Jayden Onia Seke, Kalonji and others, while also rotating senior squad members.

Hammarby arrive unbeaten in their last five matches after a post‑World Cup break win over Elfsborg, but have struggled to find stability away from Sweden. The Swedish side will look to capitalize on the momentum from their recent performances and secure a place in the next round against a Belgian team that has been defensively vulnerable this season.
