Prediction: 2-0
Westerlo
Sunday’s football game between Antwerp and Westerlo will bring down the curtain on the Jupiler League round 22. Antwerp are eager to record their first win of 2025 and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Westerlo. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but all Ange Balikwisha, Christopher Scott, and Bjorn Engels remain doubtful. Experienced striker Vicent Janssen will continue leading the line for the hosts.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to escape the relegation zone, but given their under-par defensive displays in back-to-back defeats to Club Brugge (3-4) and St. Truiden (1-2), we do not believe that Antwerp will have a better chance than this to get back on course in the Jupiler League. The likes of Kyan Vaesen, Bakary Haidara, and Fernand Goure should miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
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.
