Westerlo and Antwerp face each other at Het Kuipje in the opening match of the Jupiler League round 7.
Westerlo do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing each of their last five league matches and they face yet another tough challenge against Antwerp.
There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but trio Bernat – Yow – El Hari remains doubtful.
The reigning champions, on the other hand, played out a thrilling 2-2 draw with fellow title hopefuls St Gilloise before the international break.
Antwerp aim to rejoin the title race and we predict that they will take advantage of Westerlo’s shaky defence.
USA defender Sam Vines limped off with injury in the last league match, with Zeno Van Den Bosch being ready to step up. Experienced defender Toby Alderweireld continues to miss out with a shoulder injury.
This match will be played on 15/09/2023 at 19:45
Prediction: 0-2
