Anderlecht claimed a 1-0 victory in Belarus last week and with the home advantage on Thursday, should book their place in the Europa League group stage.
Dinamo Minsk don't seem to have a lot of goals in them and after losing the home leg, their chances of going any further in this competition appear slim.

Anderlecht preview: Solid away performance
Anderlecht made the trip to Dinamo Minsk knowing that their hosts don't give away any cheap goals in their own backyard.
The Belgian side worked hard throughout the 90 minutes and were rewarded with a 1-0 victory thanks to a ninth-minute effort from defender Lugwig Augustinsson.
Anderlecht should have things more their own way on Thursday night and we expect the hosts to create a lot more goalscoring opportunities.
Predicted lineup: Coosemans (GK), Jorgensen, Augustinsson, Foket, Simic, Rits, Dreyer, Leoni, Stroeykens, Vazquez & Angulo

Dinamo Minsk preview: Defence to be tested
Dinamo Minsk missed a big opportunity to establish themselves in this tricky Europa League qualifier after losing the home leg 1-0.
The Belarussian side prided themselves on their home form, rarely conceding goals and always scoring but when they came up against Anderlecht they slipped to a 1-0 defeat.
The odds are stacked against Thursday's guests and it's hard to see how this team can pull off a shock result.

Player to watch – Anders Dreyer
Anderlecht's versatile forward Anders Dreyer enjoyed the best season of his entire career last time out and we're backing him to impress once again on Thursday.
Dreyer, who made his name in his homeland of Denmark with Midtjylland over two spells before signing for Anderlecht in 2023, scored 21 goals last season, 19 of which arrived in the Belgian Pro League.

The 26-year-old, who can also play in midfield, put it a real shift for the Belgian side last week in Belarus and we're backing him to shine once again for his club on Thursday night.
