Match preview
Having convincingly won 2-0 at A. Le Coq Arena last Thursday, Anderlecht are firmly in control of this tie.
Lior Refaelov broke the deadlock in Estonia, before Wolves loanee Fábio Silva secured the victory.
So, Felice Mazzù’s side will be very confident of finishing the job in Brussels.
In their illustrious history, Anderlecht have won no less than five major European trophies, most recently lifting the UEFA Cup in 1983.
In modern times, the Purple and Blues have qualified for 14 Champions League and seven Europa League group stages.
So, the record 34-times champions of Belgium are under pressure not to fail in qualifying this time round.
Paide Linnameeskond meanwhile look set to fall in this round, but have already enjoyed an historic European adventure.
Before this season, they’d never won a tie in UEFA competition, losing to Žalgiris Vilnius in 2020 and Śląsk Wrocław a year later.
The Estonian club broke that duck, beating Dinamo Tbilisi on penalties, before causing another upset by knocking out Ararat-Armenia, also via a shootout.
However, baring an unprecedented turnaround, Karel Voolaid’s team will bow out here.
Anderlecht can, almost, star planning for a Europa Conference League play-off against BSC Young Boys.
