The two sides played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg, with Anderlecht coming from behind to set up a pivotal second-leg showdown at El Madrigal. Anderlecht will need their new signings to continue their impressive starts, as the fallen giants find themselves ninth in the Belgian Pro League table – 28 points behind first-placed Genk – having lost 12 of their 29 league matches this term. We expect Villarreal to book their place in the quarter-finals with a high-scoring victory over Anderlecht, whose below-par campaign looks set to worsen with a Europa Conference League exit.

双方在首回合1-1战平，安德莱赫特后来居上，在马德里加尔进行了关键的次回合对决。安德莱赫特需要他们的新援来继续他们令人印象深刻的开局，因为这支陨落的豪门在比利时职业联赛中排名第九，落后第一名根克28分，本赛季在29场联赛中输掉了12场。我们预计比利亚雷亚尔将在对阵安德莱赫特的比赛中获得四分之一决赛的席位，安德莱赫特在欧联杯出局后的表现将更加糟糕。
