Competition: Belgian Pro League

Market: Antwerp win

Odds: 1/1 @ 1xBet

Looking to extend on their recent purple patch, Antwerp will welcome Waregem to the Bosuilstadion on Saturday lunchtime.

Starting with the hosts, suffering major frustration last season as they eventually fell short in the race to book a lucrative European ticket, Joseph Oosting’s side are desperate to go one-step further this time around. Despite suffering a second-half collapse last time out as they eventually snatched a 2-2 stalemate against Belgian giants Anderlecht, the Reds should find the mood in their camp at a continued high. Extending on their Belgium Cup adventure earlier in the month as they opened December with a nail-bitting penalty shootout victory against St. Truiden, the former Twente boss has not seen his resurgent squad suffer a single defeat from any of their previous five domestic appearances across all competitions (four wins, one draw). Likewise, claiming an eye-catching 2-0 victory away at Gent a fortnight ago, Antwerp have also suffered just a single defeat since returning from November’s international break. Enjoying what has become by far their most fruitful spell of the season, Saturday’s hosts will be looking to make another statement this weekend.

As for the visitors, only making their Pro League return this season, it is no secret that Waregem’s sole focus is on maintaining their top-flight status this time around. However, despite enjoying an impressive September flurry, De Boeren have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion and have come tumbling down the table. Last seen putting in a toothless performance as they slumped to a routine 2-0 loss away at title contenders Royale Union, Sven Vandenbroeck’s side are enduring what has quickly become an extended rut. In fact, Saturday’s guests have failed to win any of their previous eight consecutive appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to October 29th. Now firmly looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, Waregem look set for another tricky test here. Despite securing a shock 2-0 win when they welcomed Antwerp to West Flanders for a Pro League showdown on September 27th, we are expecting a reverse outcome this weekend.
