Betting Insights
- Antwerp are the favorites for this weekend’s clash, but we think Leuven will have a good chance of getting a result at the weekend, having taken three points away from their previous fixture.
- However, Royal Antwerp FC have conceded an average of only 0.93 goals per away game in the First Division A this season, so we’ll take a different approach here and side with Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.73.
- Oosting has opted for a more structured 4-3-3 system that focuses on a disciplined midfield and wide players with the quality to provide a constant threat.
- Leuven’s approach is measured and they’re compact with their pressing, allowing them to play with a back three, and aggressive wing-backs.
- Leuven average 1.21 goals scored and 1.29 conceded per home match.
- Both teams have been poor defensively, so we’re expecting a back-and-forth game here.
Prediction
- We’ll side with Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.73.
- Expect a competitive, end-to-end fixture with Leuven having a good chance of getting a result.
