Antwerp hosts LASK in round 3 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, November 5th at Bosuilstadion (Antwerp)
Antwerp didn’t manage to extend its unbeaten run in the Belgian championship, having lost to Anderlecht in an equal match on the road (0-1). However, after the victory over Tottenham (1-0), such a result amid fatigue is not surprising. Now Leko's team has full time to prepare for the match with LASK, especially since the opponent will clearly not be fresher than the hosts. The leader of the group looks confident with two victories at the start.

In the last round, the team from Linz arranged a shootout with Ludogorets. Nevertheless, LASK managed to retain the advantage and won with a 4-3 score, although the end of the match was dangerous after Grgic was sent off. The loss of this player is unpleasant since he is a link between the attack and defense, and his absence will make it difficult for the visitors to find a balance. In my opinion, the Austrians are more attacking and less constructive in building the game. In the championship, they warmed up with a 2-0 victory over Sturm in Graz.
The teams have never met on the football pitch. I want to bet on the hosts’ victory with a zero handicap for several reasons. Antwerp seems to be a more experienced and balanced team, the opponent will lack a key midfielder, and the visitors' position in the standings makes them go forward. Therefore, Mbokani and Rafaelov can easily catch the opponent on counterattacks more than once.
Prediction for the match: Antwerp to win with 0.0 handicap
