RSC Anderlecht took the lead in the Jupiler Pro League last weekend, but there is not much time to enjoy it. The Purple & Whites will start their European campaign next Thursday. And according to the statistics, the Brussels people are in good shape.
RSCA seemed to be on their way to the national title last season, but lost the championship on the final straight of the playoffs. In the end, Anderlecht only finished third. However, the Brussels people were quite satisfied with this final ranking.
Aiming for the Europa League
After all, the progress compared to 11th place the previous year was impressive. Moreover, the Violet and Whites also achieved their most important goal of finishing third: a European ticket. Anderlecht is now assured of a European autumn.
After all, the people of Brussels are in the Europa League playoffs. If things go wrong, they will still be sure to go to the main tournament of the Conference League. But of course they want to qualify for the more lucrative and sportingly attractive Europa League.
Top absolute favorite
RSCA now knows which team they have to eliminate to achieve this goal. Anderlecht will face Dinamo Minsk. This club became the champion of Belarus last season and started their European campaign in the Champions League qualifying rounds. Ludogorets has shown that they are very big.
Minsk then defeated Gibraltar’s Lincoln Red Imps in the UEL playoffs. But even overcoming Anderlecht seems like a bridge too far. At least when it comes to statistics. The popular social media account Football Index has calculated the chances of all the participants in the final playoff round based on various statistics. RSCA have a whopping 99% chance of reaching the league stage. Speaking of your favourite…
