Antwerp vs Eupen Prediction & Betting tips
The cup winner from Antwerp welcomes the East Belgian from Eupen in the sixth round. The guests achieved their first win of the season last weekend. This succeeded against the runner-up from Gent, who is currently acting off the track. Nevertheless, the three of course did the self-confidence of the KAS good.
The home side also won on the last match day: The 3-2 win at St. Truiden was hard work and was only the second win of the season. From the Flemish perspective, a somewhat disappointing result. For the match in the Bosouil Stadium between Antwerp and Eupen, the tip aims that the hosts will now celebrate their third success.
Antwerp:
The oldest club in the country was able to thank its Norwegian defender Simen Junkleroed on the last matchday. The 26-year-old developed unusual qualities as a goal-getter in the match: With his brace, he exceeded his previous haul from no fewer than 57 games for Antwerp in just one game.
Otherwise, coach Ivan Leko cannot be satisfied with the course of the season. For the fourth from last year there have so far been two wins and two defeats as well as a draw.
In view of the so far easy schedule, with the exception of the game against the leaders from Charleroi, the balanced balance sheet is not enough from the point of view of the ambitious club. One reason for the inconsistent performance is, among other things, the fact that the squad has to be regrouped regularly by being sent off.
In addition to Birger Straeter in the defensive midfield, who was loaned from 1. FC Köln in the summer, the French defender Dylan Batubinsika is currently missing because of a yellow-red card from the most recent match against St. Truiden.
Eupen:
KAS was able to at least recover a little from the violent 4-0 swat against the champions from Bruges on the second match day. Since then, there have been two draws against the fourth from Kortrijk and the slightly worse placed team from St. Truiden. As mentioned at the beginning, the first win against Gent was achieved on the last day of the match.
Another draw would have been the deserved result in the match and the already formally weak Buffalo were probably already thinking about the upcoming qualifying game for the Champions League against Rapid Vienna this week.
The 13th of the previous year has so far mainly shown a weak offensive: Four hits after five rounds are only undercut in the Jupiler League by the bottom of the table from Mouscron. It was not unexpected that this part of the team would turn out to be an Achilles’ heel.
In the summer, the black and white lost several powerful offensive players and the remaining squad and the newcomers have not yet convinced. No Eupen player has had more than one goal in the course of the game to date.
In view of this, the odds for a home win including a clean sheet for the home side at the match between Antwerp and Eupen are on top with value.
