Club Brugge haven’t had any problems with scoring, hitting the target in each and every one of their last 6 games.

Antwerp

WWWDLL

After suffering a loss in their previous game against KRC Genk in First Division A - Play-Offs action, Antwerp and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that game, Antwerp had 59% possession and 11 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. Genk had 18 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Anouar Ait El Hadj (44') scored for KRC Genk.

A tendency of at least one team not scoring a goal in games involving Antwerp has been evident recently. A glance at their last six meetings shows that it has occurred 5 times. In those clashes, their opponents have hit a goal tally of 3 while Antwerp have scored 8.
