All three defeats came away from Brussels; Westerlo is their only home match in this five-game stretch.

Salzburg bring the sharper current profile
FC Salzburg are unbeaten in their last five matches, with four wins, one draw, sixteen goals scored and six conceded. They scored in every match and conceded in four. Their latest result, a 5:1 home win over Austria Lustenau, extended their winning run to three games.
The recent sequence includes three away victories. The listed trips to Rheindorf Altach, Bregenz and Celje produced eight goals, with wins at the first two and a draw at the third.
High output comes with occasional gaps at the back
Salzburg average 3.2 goals scored and 1.2 conceded across the last five. Their only clean sheet came at Rheindorf Altach, and they conceded at least two goals in two of the other four matches.
Their Europa League result is a 2:2 draw at Celje, which conflicts with the three-point total attached to their single-match entry. FC Salzburg are listed fourteenth, while a separate Red Bull Salzburg entry makes their exact league position unclear.

Available team news and motivation
Sikan started for Anderlecht in the 0:4 defeat by Gent. Neither side has a confirmed starting lineup or formation, and there are no confirmed injury or suspension updates or further statements from coaches or experts.
Anderlecht need to convert their return to Brussels into European points after three away defeats in their recent run. Salzburg’s scoring output puts pressure on the hosts’ defence, but conceding multiple goals twice in five matches leaves openings at the other end.
Our pick: home side with protection
Our bet is Handicap 1 (0) at 1.52. Anderlecht enter the match after a 4:1 home win over K.V.C. Westerlo, their second victory in the last five fixtures, while the three defeats in that run all came away from Brussels. At Constant Vanden Stock, the team can use the stronger home setting to correct the defensive issues shown in the 0:4 defeat at Gent and the 1:2 loss to Beerschot.
Salzburg are unbeaten in five matches, with four wins, 16 goals scored and six conceded. They have also found the net in each of those games, so the visitors carry the sharper attacking trend. Their defensive record is less secure: Salzburg conceded in four of five, including twice against Celje and twice against Bregenz. The draw protection is therefore essential in a balanced market, while Anderlecht’s recent 4:1 response gives sufficient support for the home handicap. No confirmed injury, suspension or starting-lineup updates are available. Expected score: 2:2.
Conclusion
Handicap 1 (0) is the selection: Anderlecht receive home advantage and insurance against a draw, while Salzburg’s scoring run is offset by six conceded goals in their last five matches, with the team conceding in four of five.
