Prediction: 1-1
Antwerp
Gent and Antwerp take on each other at KAA Gent Arena in what is expected to be a close Jupiler League encounter. Gent desperately needed a win against Eupen and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their five-match winless run. Experienced midfielder Sven Kums remains in the recovery room as well as goalkeeper Paul Nardi, but there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
Mark van Bommel’s troops, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Mechelen. As the reigning champions will go for a win in Sunday’s showdown as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Teenage forward George Ilenikhena is pushing for a recall to the starting XI as Mark van Bommel should opt to make changes to the team that failed to impress in the last league match.
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.
