Command Analysis

Royal Antwerp

Current form
Antwerp were not clear contenders for the championship title before the start of the season, but the selection of players allowed them to fight for third place and a ticket to the European Cups. So far, Jonas De Reck team has not been able to cope with their task and is in fourth place in the table with 33 points, lagging behind third-placed Union by only one point, but Anderlecht and Gent, who also have plans for third place, are seriously pressing from below. In the last round, Antwerp drew 1:1 with Beerschot, extending their unbeaten streak in the championship to four matches.

Westerlo

Current form
Before the start of the season, Westerlo was not considered a candidate for relegation and the selection of players allowed them to fight for a place in the middle of the table under favorable circumstances. However, in the first round there was an outright failure and at the moment Timmy Simons' team occupies only 13th place in the table. At the same time, there is a modest gap of two points from 12th Oud-Heverlee, so there is a chance to leave the relegation group today. Having lost 1:2 to Sint-Truiden in the last round, Westerlo suffered a second defeat in a row and already the 10th this season.
