Match Time & Date:

19:00
Prediction: 1-1
Antwerp
There will be fireworks when Lillestrom and Antwerp square off against each other at Arasen Stadion in the Conference League third qualifying round, first leg. Lillestrom are enjoying a very successful Eliteserien campaign, with the team beating SJK 6-1 on aggregate in the Conference League second qualifying round. The Norwegians are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach, and we predict that they will find the net in the first leg.
Nigeria attacker Akor Adams limped off with injury in a 2-0 win over Sarpsborg, with Holmbert Fridjonnson, who scored a hat-trick in the 5-2 crushing of SJK, likely to step up. Antwerp were anything but impressive in the double-header with Drita, but the Belgians eventually made it to round 3 thanks to a 2-0 win at Stadiumi Fadil Vokrri. Given their attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Both Engels and Haroun should miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
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.
