Anderlecht play host to Dinamo Minsk at Lotto Park in the second leg of their Europa League playoff clash on Wednesday. Brian Riemer’s men secured a narrow victory in last week’s reverse leg and will be looking to secure their spot in the new-look group stage.
Anderlecht placed one foot in the Europa League group phase as they secured a 1-0 win over Dinamo Minsk in the first leg of their playoff clash last Thursday.
Swedish international Ludwig Augustinsson came up trumps at the Mezőkövesdi Városi Stadion as his ninth-minute strike saw the visitors edge out the Belarusian outfit.
Anderlecht have now gone unbeaten in five back-to-back matches across all competitions to start the season, picking up four wins and one draw while scoring eight goals and keeping two clean sheets.
Following last Thursday’s defeat, Dinamo Minsk have now lost successive games for the first time since July 2022 after they were beaten 2-1 by Lincoln Red Imps in the second leg of their third qualifying round clash on August 15.
However, a 2-0 victory in the reverse leg on August 8 was enough to send Vadim Skripchenko’s men through to the playoff as they secured a 3-2 aggregate victory over the Gibraltar-based outfit.
Dinamo Minsk head into the midweek clash unbeaten in seven of their last nine away matches and will be looking to make a remarkable comeback on Wednesday.
