Prediction: 1-1
Antwerp
Cercle Brugge will be looking to put an end to their five-game winless run when they host Antwerp at the Jan Breydel Stadium. The hosts have struggled to find their best form in recent weeks, but they will be boosted by the return of midfielder Hannes van der Bruggen from suspension. His presence in the middle of the park should provide some much-needed stability as Cercle aim to get back on course in the Belgian top flight.
Antwerp, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Leuven last time out, leaving them desperate for a win to stay in the race for European spots. The Reds have no fresh injury concerns, which should allow them to field the best possible starting XI. Given that both teams are eager to return to winning ways and have shown defensive struggles in recent matches, goals are expected at both ends. Taking everything into account, punters from all around the world can find value in betting on both teams to score.
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.
