Anderlecht preview: Won two of two in Europe
Anderlecht might have made a slow start to their domestic league where they currently occupy sixth spot but two wins from two in the Europa League have been very impressive.
The Belgians started out with a 2-1 home win against Hungarian side Ferencvaros but their best result arrived on matchday two as they shocked everyone by winning 2-1 away against La Liga side Real Sociedad.
Predicted lineup: Coosemans (GK), Jorgensen, Sardella, N'Diaye, Rits, Dendoncker, Leoni, Verschaeren, Edozie, Stroeykens & Dolberg

Ludogorets preview: Yet to score in the Europa League
Ludogorets top the league in Bulgaria and have looked defensively strong domestically of late but their results in the Europa League haven't hit the same heights.
Ludogorets had the home advantage in their opening game against Slavia Prague but ended up losing the game 2-0 and their next game away at another Czechia side, Viktoria Plzen, ended in a goalless draw.
Predicted lineup: Bonmann (GK), Almeida, Witry, Son, Verdon, Chochev, Naressi, Camara, Rick, Vidal & Cruz

Player to watch: Kasper Dolberg
Kasper Dolberg enjoyed an impressive debut season with Anderlecht in which he scored 15 goals in the First Division A.
Dolberg has scored three times in the league this season and has one goal in the Europa League making him the club's top goalscorer. We're expecting the Dnaish international to put in another impressive performance on Thursday and wouldn't be surprised if he added to his European goal tally.
The Danish international has started the season well
Dolberg scored in the 2-1 defeat to Beerschot at the weekend and has now scored three goals in his last seven outings for club and country.
