Antwerp form and stats

7-2-6 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Antwerp in their Pro League matches away.

The supporters enjoyed Antwerp's previous game versus Kortrijk (placed 14th), a Pro League 4-2 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against OH Leuven wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Antwerp, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? Goalkeeper Ortwin De Wolf was absolutely vital in the Antwerp victory against Kortrijk, making six saves. A heroic performance from Antwerp in their game against Kortrijk last time out. Things got complicated when Abdoulaye Seck was sent off in the 20th minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 4-2 victory!

The visiting Antwerp have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 22 goals from 15 games. 21 goals have been conceded by Antwerp in these games.
