Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
All eyes will be Bosuilstadion when Antwerp and Royale Union SG face each other in the Jupiler League derby. Antwerp recorded three wins in the previous four league fixtures, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Royale Union SG. Defender Abdoulaye Seck returns from international duty, while both Benson Manuel and Aurelio Buta are sidelined with injuries.
The league leaders, on the other hand, are nine points clear of second-place Club Brugge in the Jupiler League table. Royale Union SG proved their worth in a 1-0 win over Anderlecht, but beating Antwerp on the road is easier said than done. A close match is on the cards at Bosuilstadion, and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Both Kaoru Mitoma and Kacper Kozlowski should miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
