Antwerp will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 2 points behind Anderlecht.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Antwerp form and stats

6 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Antwerp have to build on here at Bosuilstadion.

Antwerp lost their last game at Genk after a 0-4 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Antwerp won a home game hosting Standard Liège (2-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Antwerp perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Antwerp as a small favourite), we find six games. Antwerp has won 2 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Antwerp as they have a new game in only four days, a Pro League match thankfully also at home. Gent are visiting.

Antwerp are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 22 goals in 15 matches. Antwerp's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 20 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Anderlecht form and stats

7 wins, 0 draws and 8 losses. That’s the product of Anderlecht playing as the away team this season. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on K. Belhocine, the Anderlecht manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Anderlecht are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Pro League against Standard Liège. A 0-1 defeat away at Club Brugge before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Anderlecht playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were 3 Anderlecht wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.

A new game in only four days for Anderlecht, the Pro League home match versus Genk. Busy days.

Anderlecht have scored 22 goals on their travels this season, 15 away games. 22 goals have been conceded by Anderlecht in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Anderlecht - Antwerp 1-2. Last five meetings between the teams: Antwerp won 1, Anderlecht won 2 and 2 draws. 2 games with over 2,5 goals, 3 matches with two goals or less.
