Royal Antwerp will welcome Westerlo to the Bosuilstadion on Sunday afternoon; this will be the third meeting between these teams in the last six years. However, those meetings came in Cup or friendly matches; as both teams have previously never met in this tournament.
It’s worth noting that Westerlo recently gained promotion to the First Division A after a four-year absence, while their opponents have played in the Belgian top flight for the past six years.

Let’s take a look at both teams’ chances.
Royal Antwerp have been unstoppable so far this season; they’ve gotten off to their best-ever start in the First Division A, winning six from six.
As it stands, Royal Antwerp lead the standings with a perfect record so far; they’ve also been one of the highest-scoring sides in the league, with 14 goals in six games.
Conversely, Royal Antwerp have had one of the best defenses in the First Division A; they’ve allowed five goals in six games, no team has conceded fewer goals this season. Mark Van Bommel’s men will look to keep their 100 percent record in the league intact as Westerlo come calling.
Unlike Royal Antwerp, Westerlo have not enjoyed their season so far; they are 12th on the First Division A table, with six points from a possible 18.
As a matter of fact, Westerlo suffered four losses in their last five matches.
Westerlo’s struggles are due, in part, to their leaky defense; although they scored eight goals in their last three matches, they lost two of those games, allowing eight goals.
Jonas De Roeck will hope for better results as his side takes on the league leaders.
Royal Antwerp sold Abdoulaye Seck to Maccabi Haifa, and loaned out Pierre Dwomoh to Sporting Braga; with both players departing from the club on deadline day. Calvin Stengs joined the club on loan from Nice.
On the other hand, Westerlo didn’t bolster their team with any new additions towards the end of the transfer window, which is surprising considering how they’ve been playing all season; it’ll be interesting to see if they’ll improve over the course of their season.
To be fair, Royal Antwerp won just one of seven meetings between these teams; however, most of those clashes were over seven years ago, when both teams played in a different division.
Both teams are on opposite sides when it comes to form; as Antwerp have six wins from six, while Westerlo lost four of their last five matches.
And at 10/11 odds, we believe that Antwerp will take all the points here.
