AS Eupen form and stats

AS Eupen have played 3 Pro League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).

The AS Eupen fans got no joy from their last match, a Pro League game also here at Stadion am Kehrweg: A 1-2 defeat against RFC Seraing (placed 9th). Jonathan Heris, defender, was given a rating of 8.1/10 in that game, top of the team. Heris won 11 of 12 duels.

In the preceding match a 4-1 victory visiting OH Leuven.

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

The AS Eupen fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. AS Eupen have conceded 4 in these home matches.

Antwerp form and stats

Antwerp are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Pro League, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).

Antwerp's last game was the home draw against OH Leuven (2-2). Attacker Michael Frey got a player rating of 7.45 in the game. "Man of the match" Frey scored one goal. Drawing 2-2 against OH Leuven after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager B. Priske Pedersen needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Omonia Nicosia (after extra-time, 3-2 on penalties) in the Europa League.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Antwerp in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Antwerp, two draws and five defeats.

Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 8 goals in 3 league games away this season. The Antwerp manager B. Priske Pedersen has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - one - eight (Eupen wins - draws - Antwerp wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
