Antwerp get ready to welcome Kortrijk for something different than the ordinary league football: The Belgian Cup Semi-finals leg 1 of 2.
Antwerp have less rest than Kortrijk in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Pro League game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Cercle Brugge.
Antwerp form and stats
Last season their Belgian Cup adventure ended in the 16th finals.Home games in the Pro League have been a walk in the park for Antwerp so far, with 26 points won from 10 matches; 8 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses. This match is a Belgian Cup match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses in this competition. In general it's been a long time since Antwerp tasted defeat here at Bosuilstadion, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games.
Happy days for Antwerp in their previous game, a Pro League match away at Cercle Brugge that ended with a 2-1 victory. A 1-1 draw away in the Pro League before that, with Sint-Truiden the opponent.
Things did not look good last match, when W. Hoedt got a red card in the 7th minute. They were already behind at this time, but a tremendous finish from Antwerp resulted in a win!
The match schedule is unforgiving for Antwerp as they have a new game in only three days, a Pro League match thankfully also at home. Zulte-Waregem are visiting.
