Royal Antwerp

Current form
Last season, Antwerp finished only sixth in the championship and did not qualify for European competition. After winning the championship, this result clearly did not satisfy the visitors, so now the team will once again fight for the highest places. The club is currently in second place and is only five points behind the leading Genk, which they will meet in this round. The visitors are showing excellent results - in their last home matches they managed to achieve major victories over Cercle Brugge (3:0) and Standard (3:0), and also confidently beat Deinze (6:1) in the cup. At the same time, the last away match ended in a draw - Jonas De Rook team drew with Heverlee Louvain (1:1).

The visiting team will be without Bjorn Engels, Michel-Ange Balikwisha, Denis Odoi and Jairo Riedewald due to injuries.

- The visitors have suffered only one defeat in their last six away matches
Tentative line-up : Lammens - Costa, van den Bosch, Alderweireld, Corbani - Valencia, Verstraeten - Ondrejka, Cheri, Kerk - Janssen

2.22Tip and bets
The hosts have shown excellent football at the start of the season and are seriously intending to fight for the title. On their home field, Genk has beaten absolutely everyone so far and there are no signs of a decline in the team performance. The visitors also look good, but they do not play as powerfully away from home as they do at home. We believe that this meeting will end with a victory for the championship leader.
Our prediction is Genk victory at 1.85
Bet on total
Both teams try to play carefully in defense, which is why they are at the top of the table. We think that in a face-to-face match the opponents will not take many risks in attack, the risk of running into a counterattack is too high. Most likely, this match will be stubborn, without any significant failures in defense. We will be very surprised if more than three goals are scored in the confrontation between the leaders of the championship.
Bet - total under three goals. This bet is offered for 1.75
Bet on corners
Genk are the favourites of this match and will probably take the initiative on the field from the very first minutes. We believe that the hosts will dominate the entire match, and the visitors will only have to count on counterattacks. In this situation, a confident victory for the Racers on corners is almost inevitable.
Bet - Asian handicap (-1.5) on corners for Genk. This bet is offered for 1.94
