Antwerp welcome KV Oostende with belief in taking all three points. Will they? Check our match guide!
- Antwerp have won significantly more corners at home than away.
- KV Oostende have the most conceded goals in the first half (13) in Pro League
There have been limited time to rest for the hosts, as they featured in a Europa League fixture only three days back. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Antwerp form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Bosuilstadion as Antwerp have scored 12 goals to get 14 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Pro League are 4-2-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Antwerp drew their last game, 2-2 away at Eintracht Frankfurt. Mbwana Ally Samatta, a forward, was the highest rated performer for the side in that match, receiving a rating of 8.05 (out of 10). Samatta scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.
Prior to that, an away loss at Sint-Truiden in the Pro League.The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Antwerp matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, zero draws and zero defeats (from one game).
The Antwerp fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 12 goals in 7 league matches. 7 goals have been conceded.
KV Oostende form and stats
There's been little loot from KV Oostende's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 7 away games in the Pro League. KV Oostende only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw. It's looking increasingly bleak for KV Oostende who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Cercle Brugge was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Oostende's previous game was their home loss versus Union Saint-Gilloise (1-7). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Union Saint-Gilloise was particularly ugly (1-7). The humiliation is still top of mind. Attacker Thierry Ambrose got a player rating of 6.84 in the game. "Man of the match" Ambrose scored one goal.
Preceding that, the 2-4 home loss versus Mechelen.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Oostende playing away, we found seven games. Results were one away win, zero draws and six home wins.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Oostende manager A. Blessin as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Kortrijk.
KV Oostende have scored 8 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league. As for defending, KV Oostende rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 12 goals from these away matches.
