Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Saturday’s football game at Bosuilstadion pits together Antwerp and RWDM, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the 2023/2024 Jupiler League campaign. Antwerp aim to recover from a heavy 5-0 Champions League loss to star-studded Barcelona and RWDM seems like a perfect opponent for the title holders to get back on course. All Corbanie, Engels, Verhulst, and Vines have been struggling with injuries of late, but boss Marc van Bommel can count on key players for Saturday’s clash.
The newcomers, on the other hand, are a team with two faces as they produce much better showings at home than on the travels. Considering that RWDM were hammered by title hopefuls Club Brugge 7-1 on the road earlier in the process, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Midfielder Kylian Hazard should be the only absentee in the away team.

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.
