Leuven vs Royal Antwerp Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in Belgian Jupiler League on Sunday, 26 February 2023.
Leuven are currently one of the weakest teams in the league. They are one of the very few squads to have remained winless in the last five fixtures.
Meanwhile, Antwerp are in possession of the third spot, and are also one of the very few to have remained unbeaten in the last five games.
The reverse fixture ended in a 4-2 win for Antwerp, and they also won six of the past nine clashes. And at this venue, Leuven have a single win to their name in the past 13 years.
The latest meeting at this stadium ended in a 0-1 win for the guests.
Antwerp are going after a top-two finish, and are currently one of the most consistent teams in the competition. Note that they also conceded the least of all the 18 teams in the league.
On the other hand, Leuven have a single win in all competitions since November, and most of all they have an inferior h2h record against this rival over the years.
As such, expect a win for Antwerp this Sunday at the Den Dreef.
Leuven registered a single clean sheet at home since November, and just two since July. They let in four goals in the reverse h2h fixture, and conceded twice or more in four of the past six h2h clashes.
It seems that we are about to witness another high-scoring affair this Sunday.
Chances are quite low for that to happen, considering the consistency of Antwerp, and especially their defense. They let in the least number of goals in the whole league.
Antwerp are going after a top-two finish, and at present they are one of the most consistent teams in the league. They lost a single game since October, and this defeat came against the second-placed Royale Union.
On the other hand, Leuven have a single win from their past eleven fixtures, and managed to win just once at this stadium since November. On top of that they have a worrying h2h record against this rival too.
As such, Royal Antwerp to Win at an odd of 2.00 would be a good pick.
Going on, they scored four goals in the reverse fixture, and slotted in two or more goals in four of the past six h2h meetings. And with the hosts keeping just two clean sheets at this venue since July – the Over 1.5 Team Goals by Royal Antwerp would be a good choice at 1.90 odd.
