Prediction: 0-2
St Gilloise
All eyes will be on Bosuilstadion when Antwerp and Royale Union SG lock horns in a highly-anticipated Jupiler League game. Antwerp aim to spoil St Gilloise’s party and the hosts must be high on confidence following a routine 3-0 win over Gent. Manager Andries Ulderink is boosted by Denis Odoi’s return from suspension, while veteran defender Toby Alderweireld remains in the treatment room.
The league leaders, on the other hand, survived their local rivals Anderlecht at the weekend, with Mohammed Fuseini scoring the only goal of the match. With talented midfielder Kamiel Van De Perre returning from suspension, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the title hopefuls. In their last meeting in the Belgian top flight, St Gilloise rolled over Antwerp 5-1, which definitely goes in favour of our previous prediction. Sebastien Pocognoli is likely to stick to the 3-5-2 formation.
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.
