Antwerp
- Antwerp have been in mixed form with 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats across all competitions over the same period.
- In their last two, both defeats, Antwerp were beaten 1-0 by Millwall and 2-1 by Leyton Orient and it is those results that should send a signal.
- Faris Haroun's side are also 3-at-the-back when they have the ball and when they get it back they like to play it forward quickly to create situations to score.
Beveren
- Beveren have been flying with 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat across all competitions over the last 10 matches.
- Beveren's away form is excellent with four wins, one draw and one defeat from six across all competitions, but the games have not been as easy as the scoreline suggests with an average of 2.67 goals per away game.
Key Players
- Tim Bakens has done an incredible job since arriving at the club on 1 July 2026, getting the players to keep their 3-at-the-back structure and their identity while making the most of the pace and quick feet on the wings and the half-space areas to create chances.
- Ferre Slegers has been the chief goal threat recently with four of the team's 11 goals coming in the last five games.

Head-to-Head

Prediction
Both teams to score - No at 1.7 is our selection here as the Under 2.5 goals option is also a solid play at the same price.
