Zulte Waregem, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 2-2 draw against Standard Liège will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Zulte Waregem. They came away from that fixture with 37% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Standard Liège managed 21 attempts on goal, with 8 on target.
Having lost 17 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Frederik D'Hollander will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 11 goals they scored. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games.
A win for Zulte Waregem is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 9 games.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in Elindus Arena, Zinho Gano will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Royal Antwerp, Recent FormThe 1-0 home defeat to Charleroi will not have sat easily with the Royal Antwerp squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they recorded 66 % of the possession, with 28 attempts on goal, 8 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 5 shots on goal.
Manager Mark van Bommel will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 2 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 11 goals. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. With a defensive record of 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches, they can certainly claim to be hard to beat.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Royal Antwerp's last 6 league games.
The 1-0 victory which Royal Antwerp recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
When playing away from home in the league, The Great Old have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 5 matches against SVZW. In the previous 2 league encounters between these two teams, SVZW have failed to score a single goal against The Great Old.
SVZW has lost the last 2 times they've faced Antwerp in the league.
SVZW manager Frederik D'Hollander has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Martijn Beernaert (Unknown), Modou Tambedou (Unknown) and Ruud Vormer (Broken collarbone) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Mark van Bommel has a number of injury concerns in his Antwerp squad to contend with: Björn Engels (Hamstring), Faris Haroun (Foot), Koji Miyoshi (Knee), Davino Verhulst (Knee) and Alhassan Yusuf (Foot)
