📊 Form Guide

Antwerp

DWWWWW 🔥

Antwerp, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 4-2 First Division A success versus Oud-Heverlee Leuven.

In that game, Antwerp managed 56% possession and 17 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. For Antwerp, the goals were scored by Radja Nainggolan (38'), Michael Frey (40') and Michel-Ange Balikwisha (71', 82'). For their opponents, Oud-Heverlee Leuven had 8 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Nachon Nsingi (27') and Louis Patris (55') scored for Oud-Heverlee Leuven.

Their latest results highlight the fact that much solidity has been shown by the Antwerp backline. Antwerp have been miserly, seeing the number of goals that have gone in at their end over the course of their previous six clashes standing at 3. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be sustained into this match, however.

📰 Team News: Antwerp

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the sole fitness concern for the Antwerp gaffer Mark van Bommel to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Björn Engels (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined.

🗞️ Team News: Lillestrøm SK

From a largely available group of players, there’s only the lone fitness worry for the Lillestrøm SK manager Geir Bakke to contend with. Frederik Holst (Ankle Fracture) won’t be in action.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Antwerp will probably have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

Conversely, Lillestrøm SK could well struggle to score a goal of their own but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be scoring as well.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Antwerp at full-time.
