Anderlecht departs for Kazakhstan on Monday for the crucial Europa League match against Kairat Almaty. Trainer Vitor Bruno has decided to advance the trip to give players enough time to acclimate to the time difference and long flight. League standing: 6th in Jupiler Pro League, 3 pts, 1W-0D-0L from 1 games, recent form W.
Why is Anderlecht leaving so early?
The team wants to leave nothing to chance and has chosen to depart a few days earlier. The flight takes 9.5 hours, and there is a three-hour time difference with Belgium. By arriving earlier, players can better prepare for the match.
What does this mean for preparations?
Anderlecht has already advanced to the final round of the Europa League after a 3-2 win against PAOK. The team does not want to take this crucial match lightly and has therefore chosen an early departure.
What's next?
After the match against Kairat Almaty, the next game against KV Mechelen (home, 2027-02-13) is on the schedule. The team hopes to maintain its good form and continue in the Europa League.
