Royal Antwerp, Recent FormRoyal Antwerp will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-1 winners in their away fixture against Cercle Brugge. They achieved 61% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 9 hitting the target, up against Cercle Brugge's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
With 15 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Mark van Bommel will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 6 goals in the same period. They've kept 8 clean sheets so far this season.
They have been performing well at Bosuilstadion recently and are unbeaten in their last 10 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.
Anderlecht, Recent FormAnderlecht manager Brian Riemer will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Standard Liège. They came away from that fixture with a 57% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Standard Liège, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 16 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, Riemer will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 6 goals in the same period. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, overall they've scored in 16 of their 17 games this season.
