Command Analysis

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. The hosts are showing excellent results - in their last home matches, they managed to win big victories over Cercle Brugge (3:0) and Standard (3:0), and also confidently beat Deinze (6:1) in the cup. After losing to Genk (0:2), they managed to beat Kortrijk (2:1) away.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts will be without Bjorn Engels, Michel-Ange Balikwisha, Mahamadou Doumbia, Denis Odoi and Jairo Riedewald due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won three of its last four matches.
- The hosts have suffered only one defeat in their last ten away matches
Tentative line-up : Lammens - Costa, van den Bosch, Alderweireld, Corbani - Valencia, Verstraeten - Ondrejka, Cheri, Kerk - Janssen

FCV Dender EH

Current form
For a newcomer to the championship, Dender had a fantastic start to the season. The team did not suffer a single defeat in the first four rounds: two wins and two draws. But the fairy tale did not last long. The visitors did not win in the last five matches. The club recently dropped out of the cup, losing to modest Zulte-Waregem (1:2). The outsider suffered its last defeats in the championship from Mechelen (2:5) and Westerlo (0:2). On November 9, Vincent Euvrard charges managed to defend a draw in a match with Heverlee Louvain (1:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Malcolm Wiltar, Danny Fofana, Lennard Hens, Michael Lallemand and Abdoulaye Yahya are all out due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
Dender have not won in five away matches in a row (four defeats and one draw)
The visitors have not lost to Antwerp in their last seven head-to-head encounters
Estimated line-up: Devriendt - Fila, Ruyssen, Coles, Goncalves, Ferraro - Rhodes, Quet, Sylla - Nsimba, Soládio.
Trends
Bet Exact score 3:0
The hosts have won two of their last four games by that score.
9.50Bet At least one team will not score
This pattern has worked in three of the hosts' last six matches
1.95Tip and bets
At the moment, Antwerp is much stronger than its opponent and should win without any problems. After a great start, Dender predictably gave in and is now close to the relegation zone. It is unlikely that the visitors will be able to beat one of the league leaders in this state, so we will bet on a confident victory for the clear favorite.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Antwerp for 1.67
Bet on total
The hosts show excellent attacking play, especially on their home field - in the last four home matches the club has not scored less than three goals. Since Dender is not distinguished by a reliable defensive play, we believe that Antwerp will be able to beat the total even if the guests do not score a single goal.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.63
Bet on corners
The hosts will most likely have the initiative on the field from the first seconds of the match until the final whistle. Antwerp dominance should lead to an advantage in the number of corners taken, among other things.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2.5) on corners for Antwerp at 1.90
