Antwerp hosts Kortrijk in the first leg of the Belgian Cup semifinals. The match will be played on Thursday, January 23rd at Bosuilstadion (Antwerp)
Antwerp feels confident in the top three. The champion’s title will most likely go to Brugge, despite the oddities of the Belgian championship, but Antwerp is quite capable of winning the Cup. In recent matches, Antwerp completely controlled the center of the field, and it is much easier for Mbokani to play in the attack when Refaelov is on the pitch. By the way, Lior Refaelov scores a lot. Having played in the last five matches of the championship, he scored four goals. Therefore, the attack of Antwerp looks very worthy. Of course, the defense can pull a trick and bring a penalty kick out of thin air, but this is more likely due to the underestimation of Cercle’s agility.

Kortrijk is dangerous primarily at home, while there is nothing to boast of on the road, except for the victory over its neighbor in the standings, Eupen. Kortrijk can dry the game when playing against neighbors in the standings, but it’s unclear how the Guys can do this against Antwerp with its ball control.
Both teams will field the regular lineups. Everyone is safe and sound. The attack of Antwerp looks very solid, and it will cope with the defense of Kortrijk. The Guys usually score the neighbors in the standings, that is, the outsiders, but they also concede a lot. Antwerp must win otherwise the fans will not understand, but Kortrijk doesn’t raise the question like that.
Prediction for the match: Antwerp to win
