1.67Tip and bets
The hosts have had a great start to their performance in the Europa League and are not planning to slow down. In the last round of the Belgian championship, Anderlecht unexpectedly lost to the main outsider, Beerschot, with a score of 1:2. The match with Ludogorets is an excellent chance to rehabilitate themselves for this defeat and strengthen their position in the European Cup. The visitors have not yet impressed in the European arena and are unlikely to take points from the Belgians.
Our forecast is Anderlecht victory for 1.80
