📰 Team News: Beerschot

There aren’t many selection issues, with just the sole fitness concern for the Beerschot boss Dirk Kuijt to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Ryan Sanusi (surgery) is sidelined.

It seems likely that Beerschot will probably go for a 4-2-3-1 formation, beginning the first half with Nick Shinton, Colin Dagba, A. Konstantopoulos, Loïc Mbe Soh, Brian Plat, Ewan Henderson, Faisal Al-Ghamdi, Tom Reyners, Antoine Colassin, Thibaud Verlinden and Marwan Al-Sahafi.

🗞️ Team News: Antwerp

There’s a good chance that The Great Old might elect for a 3-4-1-2 formation, starting the game with Senne Lammens, Zeno Van Den Bosch, Toby Alderweireld, Jairo Riedewald, Anthony Valencia, Kobe Corbanie, Denis Odoi, Jelle Bataille, Tjaronn Chery, Vincent Janssen and Gyrano Kerk.

💭 Prediction

Beerschot may find it difficult to put one past this Antwerp team who we think will manage to score & go ahead.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a very even match with a 0-1 winning score for Antwerp when all is said and done.

It should be a good one.
