Antwerp hosts St. Liege in round 6 of Championship Group of Jupiler League. The match will be played on Friday, April 26th at Bosuilstadion (Antwerp)
Currently, Antwerp is more than ever determined to play an active match, because the position in the standings obliges the team to give all the best in each remaining match. The club is ranked third with 35 points, just 2 points ahead of Standard and 3 points behind Brugge, which theoretically promotes to the Champions League qualification stage. If one looks at the three head-to-heads with St. Liege in this season, Antwerp opened the score in each match, regardless of the venue. In addition, they failed to score only three times in their last ten matches, considering that the majority of opponents were top clubs. Antwerp, which plays with its principled opponent, has to open the score at home, because if it let this game drop, the chances to get into the Europe League are very likely to come to naught. That’s why Antwerp is more motivated than ever.

Standard ranks 4th in the current confrontation of six teams of the Championship Group of Jupiler League. Of course, it is understood that the club does not battle for the first two places that are already occupied by Genk and Brugge. However, they can cope with the closest rival indeed. The last home match with Antwerp was won with the score 3:1, and the erstwhile hosts had a complete dominance by shots. I think the visitors will at least open the score in this match, although even the chances of winning or a draw are no less than a loss. For the last three head-to-heads, Standard has not scored a goal just once, which can probably be explained by common bad luck, since possession of the ball in that match was completely on their side. And if we add the fact performance of Belgium’s league scoring to everything else, I think that not only both teams will score, but the total may well happen in.
Given the motivation and precariousness of both clubs’ ranking, I think both opponents will attack each other with all their might. And as soon as the score is opened, the opponent’s team will have to score in return, as it happens in most matches. Keeping this in mind, the “both teams to score” bet looks pretty good in this confrontation. Bet wisely!
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes.
