Jagiellonia Bialystok – RSC Anderlecht Preview – Who comes out on top in Bialystok?
Our Jagiellonia Bialystok vs RSC Anderlecht betting tips start with a simple observation: neither defence is in a state to be trusted. The game kicks off on 22 October 2026 at 19:00 GMT, and Anderlecht go into it with nothing to show from their first two Europa League outings, home to Lyon and away at Dinamo Zagreb. Add a Belgian Cup exit at Beerschot on Sunday, and Vítor Bruno is a coach with the pressure building. Voetbalkrant has already called him “under pressure”.

Jagiellonia are not exactly cruising either. They beat Ararat-Armenia 3-1 at home last week for their first points in the competition, then lost 1-0 at Zagłębie Lubin in the league, a game decided by a late penalty after a VAR review. Before that came home defeats to Górnik Zabrze and Legia, both by three goals to one. The Polish side score, but they leak at home.
Anderlecht get a slight nod as the stronger side on paper, though this reads as an open, even contest. Adrian Siemieniec’s team have the home crowd and a recent win to lean on. The visitors have desperation and a settled-looking back line of Pétrot and Omobamidele, who will need to be sharper than they were against Beerschot.
Jagiellonia Bialystok – RSC Anderlecht Betting Tips
Betting Tip: Both teams to score
- Jagiellonia Bialystok have conceded in each of their last five matches
- RSC Anderlecht have scored in four of their last five matches
- Jagiellonia Bialystok have scored in four of their last five matches
Jagiellonia have scored in four of their last five and conceded in all five, while Anderlecht have scored in four and conceded in three. That is a strong pattern for a game like this. Anderlecht will find a way to score against a Jagiellonia back line that has been shipping goals, and the hosts have enough attacking quality to find a way past a nervy visitor defence.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Jagiellonia Bialystok have seen three or more goals in four of their last five matches
- RSC Anderlecht have seen three or more goals in four of their last five matches
Jagiellonia have conceded three in each of their last two home league games, and Anderlecht have not been tight either. Neither side looks capable of shutting a game down, so we expect an open, attack-minded night. If the visitors chase a first result in the competition, space will appear at both ends.
Betting Tip: Jagiellonia Bialystok +0.5 handicap
- RSC Anderlecht have lost three of their last five matches
This covers the home win and the draw. Anderlecht have no points in the Europa League, have lost their last two matches, and their coach is under pressure, so a draw or better for Jagiellonia is a sensible way to back the hosts without needing them to win. Check the latest match odds on the sportsbook and place your bets before kick-off.
Why this should be a game of goals
Look at what both teams have been doing. Anderlecht lost narrowly at Dinamo Zagreb, but before that they beat Cercle Brugge 2-1 and lost 1-2 to Lyon, so goals at both ends are a regular feature. Jagiellonia scored in most of their recent matches and conceded in nearly all. That is the foundation for everything below.
Team news is thin. Jagiellonia are reported to be without Norbert Wojtuszek and Nik Prelec, while Anderlecht are missing Giulian Biancone, Killian Sardella and Ilay Camara. Those absences may hurt the visitors more than they hurt anything Jagiellonia do going forward, with Jóźwiak, Szmyt and Sow all in the side recently.
