Anderlecht can beat AEL even without Milan Jovanovic.
First leg 2-1 win for the Cypriots, but despite the fact that the Belgians don't seem to be at their best, they have never been knocked-out by a Cypriot team.
Vanden Stock is a stadium that helps the hosts to play good ball and they will more likely find ways to create clear chances to beat Degra (AEL's keeper). I think that the Belgian team will win this by two or more.
Anderlecht is a good pick, even if AEL haven't conceded a goal yet at its European meetings, this season.
In addition Anderlecht's last participation at Champions League Group Stage was 6 years ago and we (all) know, how important for a European club is, to have Champions League-bonus and relieve financially, entering into the Group Stage.
Jovanovic is out and that's a tough situation for the hosts, because the Serbian is their leader. They will play 4-4-2 with Mbokani and Kanu (or De Sutter) at the offensive line, with Iakovenko most likely replacing Jovanovic as the left winger.
Anderlecht needs a goal to proceed, but a second one will make them feel more comfortable.
1-0 is same as 2-0 for the Cypriots. Both cases, they need to score a goal.
1-1 means AEL's qualification, while 2-1 means Extra time.
I think Anderlecht will score over 2.5 goals and give an end to the Cypriots' dreams.
That pays 3.00 at
