📋 Team News: KVC Westerlo

Eliot Bujupi (Knee injury), Isa Sakamoto (minor knock) and Enis Destan (Knee injury) won’t be playing for KVC Westerlo gaffer Issame Charaï.

In our view, De Kempeneers will possibly employ a 4-2-3-1 system for this game, handing starts to Andreas Jungdal, Bryan Reynolds, Emin Bayram, Roman Neustädter, Seiji Kimura, Serhiy Sydorchuk, Arthur Piedfort, A. Sayyadmanesh, T. Van Den, Josimar Alcócer and Nacho Ferri.

📋 Team News: Antwerp

Antwerp boss Joseph Oosting has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Björn Engels (Achilles heel problems), Gerard Vandeplas (Ankle injury) and Mauricio Benítez (Hamstring injury) are not able to play.

It’s our belief that The Great Old could decide to make use of a 3-4-1-2 system with a starting lineup of T. Brandon Nozawa, Zeno Van Den Bosch, Yuto Tsunashima, Daam Foulon, Anthony Valencia, Dennis Praet, Xander Dierckx, Farouck Adekami, Christopher Scott, Vincent Janssen and Gyrano Kerk.

Our thinking is that Antwerp must be fancied to score against this KVC Westerlo team, however it isn’t expected to be enough to prevent defeat.

We think that it’s going to be a narrow 2-1 winning margin for KVC Westerlo when the full-time whistle blows. Let’s see what eventuates.
