Prediction: 2-2
Genk
Bosuilstadion will be the centre of attention when Antwerp and Genk lock horns in the Jupiler League derby on Saturday evening. Antwerp aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Charleroi and Club Brugge, but they face yet another tough challenge against Genk. Teenage forward George Ilenikhena should once again start from the bench despite scoring as a substitute at the weekend, while both Anthony Valencia and Mandela Keita are out of contention with injuries.
De Smurfen, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Mechelen and Kortrijk and seeing that Antwerp have turned their Bosuilstadion into a real fortress, both teams to score betting option should be considered. A man to keep an eye on in the visiting team will be pacey winger Joseph Paintsil, who found the net in the 3-0 win over De Kerels, while Wouter Vrancken has no fresh injury worries.
Highlighted Player (Patrik Hrosovsky):
Born in Prievidza, Czechoslovakia, Patrik Hrosovsky is a midfielder who plays for Viktoria Plzen. Patrik Hrosovsky started his youth career at his hometown club Prievidza and he played for the youth team of Trencin as well before joining Viktoria Plzen.

His main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing as both defensive midfielder and attacking midfielder as well. Hrosovsky has yet to find the net with the Slovakia national football team, but he found the net for the U21 team in a 7-1 win over Luxembourg at the 2015 European Championship. He has a contract with Viktoria Plzen which expires on June 30, 2019.
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.
