Royal Antwerp, Recent FormIt's fair to say Royal Antwerp will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Anderlecht, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. They achieved 60% possession in that match and had 19 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Anderlecht's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Manager Mark van Bommel will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 15 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and overall this season they have recorded 8 clean sheets in 18 games.
They have been performing well at Bosuilstadion recently and are unbeaten in their last 11 home games.
When it comes to home matches at Bosuilstadion, Michel-Ange Balikwisha will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 5 league goals for Royal Antwerp in their last 6 home games.
Westerlo, Recent FormWesterlo will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-0 win in their home outing against Eupen. Their share of possession in that meeting was 51%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Eupen had 15 shots on goal with 7 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 10 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 10 games in a row.
Westerlo will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 away games, but with only 2 wins there is some room for improvement.
On an individual basis, Nicolas Madsen will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Westerlo's last 6 league games.
A defeat for Westerlo in their last match against Royal Antwerp was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 3 goals.
Goals should be on the cards for Antwerp in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against De Kempeneers in their last 11 meetings together.
Westerlo has a poor track record in the league when they visit Antwerp, losing in their last 2 games.
