OTHER Due to tonight's defeat in the Czech Republic, Anderlecht has dropped to seventh place in the Europa League standings. It is two points from number two, but also three points from number 15, Union. If it wants to avoid the intermediate round, it will have to win next week.

Anderlecht closes out the group stage next Thursday against Hoffenheim, which has six points and only one more water chance of qualifying for the intermediate round. Moreover, the Germans are in bad papers in the league and Europe is no longer a priority. If Anderlecht wants to avoid the intermediate round it will have to win, because there are a lot of teams close to each other in the standings. Three other clubs also have fourteen points and the goal difference also plays a role. Behind Anderlecht lurk two clubs with thirteen points, two clubs with twelve points and three clubs with eleven points. All these clubs are theoretically eligible to still jump over Purple and White.

It is impossible to exhaust all scenarios. There are also competitors playing against each other, which means that one of the clubs can no longer jump over Anderlecht anyway. For example, Union has to go to Rangers on the final day of play. Both clubs have 11 points.
