Antwerp vs St. Liege Prediction & Betting tips
Both Antwerp and Standard lost their match in the Europa League. For Standard, this almost certainly means that they are out, but Antwerp still has a chance. It seemed like they both weren’t going all out so they could be their best against each other this weekend.
Royal Antwerp:
Ivan Leko’s Antwerp is slowly starting to take shape. They show that they can put the opponent under serious pressure from a block. They do this by means of the now known 5-3-2 / 3-5-2 system, which continues to cause problems for many teams. Standard will also have a hard time with that, as they have some problems at the end of the last few weeks.
We all know how difficult it is to capture the fortress of Antwerp, the so-called Bosuil Stadium. This season, Antwerp took eleven points out of fifteen. They won three times, but against strong teams, although that is very relative this year. They beat Ghent, Mechelen and Beerschot. Especially the latter, the derby against Beerschot, was a success. 3-2 is a great victory, and with that Antwerp rightly claimed the title ‘team of the city’!
Standard:
Standard was considered one of the better teams at the start of the competition. However, things have been a bit more difficult in recent weeks, especially in Europe. There, it lost all three games of the first round. Especially the 3-1 defeat against Lech Poznan is hard. If there was even a glimmer of hope to stay in Europe, they had to win there. However, they fell quite hopeless.
The fact that Zinho Vanheusden was not there could have played tricks on the team. The young talented defender tore the cruciate ligaments of his knee against Ostend last match day. The defender’s screams went to the bone. Nobody wishes him, certainly not now that a selection with the Red Devils was close again after his brilliant performances in recent weeks, and by extension, recent months. The fact that Standard has to miss this boy for a long time may be crucial.
