Royal Antwerp, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 away win over Standard Liège in their last league game, Royal Antwerp will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 49% possession in that match and had 4 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Standard Liège's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Mark van Bommel will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 13 games in a row.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in Bosuilstadion, Michel-Ange Balikwisha will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Club Brugge, Recent FormClub Brugge manager Ronny Deila will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 3-3 draw in his team's last league outing against Kortrijk. In that game they had 71% possession and managed 30 attempts on goal, with 10 on target, compared to Kortrijk who had 7 attempts and 5 on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 19 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, Deila will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 6 goals in the same period. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 10 games in a row.
Goalscorer Igor Thiago will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 11 goals in his last 6 league matches for Club Brugge.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Royal Antwerp, losing 2-1 to Club Brugge.
The Great Old have struggled for goals when Brugge comes to visit Bosuilstadion, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing at home, Antwerp have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Brugge. Playing at home, Antwerp have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Brugge.
When playing at home in the league, Antwerp have failed to win any of their last 3 meetings with Brugge, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
Brugge player Hans Vanaken will be feeling confident about recording goals against Antwerp ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 3 goals from their last 5 meetings.
Antwerp manager Mark van Bommel has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Michel-Ange Balikwisha (Knee), Soumaïla Coulibaly (Leg), Ritchie De Laet (Muscle), Björn Engels (Hamstring) and Anthony Valencia (Broken foot) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Joel Ordóñez (Hamstring) and Chemsdine Talbi (Ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ronny Deila will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
