Head-to-Head
- Royal Antwerp have won their last three consecutive games, including a 2-1 away win over Standard Liege just seven days ago.
- Royal Antwerp have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five First Division A - Conference Group 2026 games against Standard Liege.
- Fourth-placed Royal Antwerp are level on 27 points with third-placed Standard Liege, but the hosts are one place lower than Les Rouches in the Conference Group standings.
- And with the rivalry between these two clubs a long-standing one, there’s also local pride and bragging rights to consider.
Key Players
- Christopher Scott has been in hot form in recent weeks, scoring four goals in Antwerp’s last five Conference Group matches, and is their most reliable outlet in front of goal.
- Casper Nielsen has scored two goals in his last 5 league appearances and is Standard’s most consistent outlet up front, but Adnane Abid’s 3 assists in the last 5 league fixtures shows that he is an orchestrator of play from wide areas and set-piece positions.
- Antwerp’s vertical play is enhanced by Scott’s clinical finishing and ability to pounce on the break, but Standard’s ability to sit deep and press from the front could also lead to some wide overloading.
Betting Insights
But with both sides wanting to be on the front foot, we’re backing an Over 2.5 goals selection and Both Teams to Score - Yes .
Prediction
Given that Antwerp have won their last 3 games and Standard have failed to take maximum points from their last 2 trips to this venue , we’re taking the hosts to pick up another win on Sunday.
