Royal Antwerp, Recent FormA 3-3 draw in their last match against Westerlo meant Royal Antwerp had to settle for a share of the points. In that game they had 52% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Westerlo who had 10 attempts and 4 on target.
Mark van Bommel will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 9 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at Bosuilstadion recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. With 8 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league.
They've drawn their last 3 games, but their search for a win in a league game extends even further with 5 consecutive games without a win.
On an individual basis, Vincent Janssen will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 10 goals in Royal Antwerp's 18 league games this season.
Gent, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Gent and Standard Liège in their last match, which ended in a 0-0 draw. They came away from that fixture with a 69% share of the possession and clocked up 21 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Standard Liège, who managed 1 attempts on goal, 0 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 4, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They are proving tough to beat with their recent run of 3 clean sheets.
They have had a good run of form recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Tarik Tissoudali will be looking forward to more goals after clocking up an impressive 6 goals in the past 6 league matches for Brentford.
Royal Antwerp recorded a 1-2 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Antwerp will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against De Buffalo's, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 7 meetings between the two. Gent have struggled to break down The Great Old defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 1 time in their last 5 meetings. Antwerp have managed to keep a clean sheet against Gent in 4 of their previous 5 meetings.
Gent will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 5 times they've met Antwerp in the league and not won this fixture for 12 games in a row.
Antwerp manager Mark van Bommel has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Björn Engels (Hamstring), Pieter Gerkens (Unknown), Faris Haroun (Foot), Koji Miyoshi (Knee), Christopher Scott (Unknown), Sam Vines (Unknown) and Alhassan Yusuf (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
