Prediction: 1-1
Antwerp
Saturday’s football game at Dender Football Complex pits together Dender and Antwerp, the two top-table sides. Dender aim to build on back-to-back wins over Westerlo and Kortrijk, but they will have a big fish to fry against Antwerp. The opposition back-line should have Aurelien Scheidler at bay as the 26-year-old forward scored a brace in the last league match, while all Fofana, Lallemand, and Yahaya have been struggling with injuries of late.
The visitors, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team failing to win the previous four league matches. Antwerp are eager to retain their spot in top four, but beating the in-form hosts at Dender Football Complex is easier said than done. As a result, we are tempted to place our bets on draw. The good news for the visiting side is that influential attacker Vincent Janssen is back from suspension.
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.
