Prediction: 1-1
Antwerp
Antwerp will be looking to cement top position in the standings when they face Eupen at Kehrwegstadion on Matchday 4. Antwerp made a flying start to the season, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to win their first domestic trophy since 1956. The league leaders head into Sunday’s clash following the Conference League encounter with Lillestrom, meaning that head coach Marc van Bommel could decide to rest a couple of first-team regulars this time out.
Defender Aurelio Buta continues to miss out with injury. The Pandas, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team looking sharp at home, while struggling on the travels. Given Antwerp’s Conference League commitments, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up one point from Sunday’s game. Midfielder Stef Peeters is banned for the hosts.
Highlighted Player (Radja Nainggolan):
Born on 4 May 1988, Radja Nainggolan is a Belgian footballer who plays for AS Roma as a central midfielder. The combative midfielder failed to leave a mark on domestic stage, having left his first club Germinal Beerschot for Piacenza as a 17-year-old. Nainggolan soon started to prove his worth at senior level, earning a move to Cagliari in 2010.
He continued with impressive performances in Italian Serie A and eventually snubbed a number of top European sides to join AS Roma in 2014.The central midfielder enjoyed a very good start to his career at Stadio Olimpico, while also establishing himself as a first team regular in the Belgian national team, helping the Red Devils climb to first place in FIFA Rankings and also qualify for the Euro 2016 finals.
A highly skilled midfielder who does not shirk from defensive duties, Nainggolan is also famous for his fiery temperament that has seen him earn 2 red cards and over 70 yellow cards during the course of his career.
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.
