ℹ️ Team News: SV Zulte Waregem
Availability isn’t a big problem, with just a single fitness concern for the SV Zulte Waregem boss Sven Vandenbroeck to be concerned about from of an almost fully healthy squad. Laurent Lemoine (unknown injury) misses out.
We are thinking that Essevee will possibly use a 4-4-2 system for this game featuring Brent Gabriel, Wilguens Paugain, Anton Tanghe, Jakob Kiilerich, Yannick Cappelle, Stavros Gavriel, Thomas Claes, Tochukwu Nnadi, Joseph Opoku, Jeppe Erenbjerg and Anosike Ementa.
🗞️ Team News: Antwerp
We believe The Great Old will likely begin the game with a 3-1-4-2 system, starting Yannick Thoelen, Yuto Tsunashima, Rosen Bozhinov, Zeno Van Den Bosch, Dennis Praet, Thibo Somers, Isaac Babadi, Mahamadou Diawara, Daam Foulon, Vincent Janssen and Marwan Al-Sahafi.
✨ Prediction
It seems to us that Antwerp and SV Zulte Waregem should play out a closely-fought contest here.
There should be little in it, and a draw looks to be quite a realistic result. That is why we are leaning toward a hard-fought 1-1 score when all is said and done.
