Antwerp
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-1
Westerlo
Following a 1-1 draw with Westerlo, Antwerp will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Jupiler League when they take on Westerlo on Matchday 19. The title holders are eyeing their seventh home win of the season and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. As important winger Michel-Ange Balikwisha has overcome his injury, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts.
De Kemphanen, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Kortrijk and Eupen, but Antwerp will pose a much bigger threat for Westerlo than their previous rivals. In their last meeting in the Belgian top flight Antwerp defeated Westerlo 3-0, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered. To make things even worse for the visiting team, centre-back Emin Bayram is banned for the match due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
Highlighted Team (Antwerp):
Founded back in 1880, Antwerp is one of the oldest clubs in Belgium. The Great Old welcome their rivals at Bosuilstadion, the venue with the capacity of 16,144 people. Antwerp are well known for their red home kits, with the team wearing white shirts and white jerseys when playing on the travels.
Over the years Antwerp have been trying to close the gap between Belgian giants Anderlecht and Club Brugge, but they have yet to win the title in the recent history. The Great Old clinched their first domestic trophy back in 1929, with the team repeating the success two years later. The third and the fourth titles came in 1944 and 1957 respectively.
Beerschot A.C. are considered the club’s fiercest rivals, but they have a rivalry with Club Brugge as well. The club chiefs had a long-term partnership with famous English club Manchester United in the past, with Antwerp taking young footballers on loan to Old Trafford.
