Antwerp vs RWDM Prediction: Expect an exciting high scoring match

Antwerp and RWDM will square off against one another in the eighth round of the Belgian Jupiler Pro League at Bosuilstadion. The last time these two teams met, the home club was trounced at home in the Jupiler League by RWDM, while the away squad was embarrassed at home by La Liga heavyweights Barcelona in their debut appearance in the Champions League.

Antwerp had a winning record in their five most recent matches, with three victories coming against AEK Athens, Westerlo, and FC Barcelona. They had one defeat at the hands of FC Barcelona, and one match against Union Saint-Gilloise resulted in a draw. During those encounters, Antwerp was able to score eight goals while also allowing eight goals against them. During the current league season, Antwerp has scored a total of 2.17 goals on average per match. In terms of disciplinary actions, the host team was given 5 yellow cards but no red cards, resulting in a total of 12.17 fouls committed over all of their matches (on average). The average rating that each match gives Antwerp's team is 6.68. This season, Antwerp has maintained an average possession of the ball of 59 percent, which indicates that they are doing a decent job at keeping the ball.

RWDM comes into this encounter having won two of their most recent five matches, both of which came against KV Mechelen and Cercle Brugge, respectively. However, they were defeated in both of their matches by Club Brugge and Valenciennes, while one of their contests with Standard Liège ended in a draw. The club only managed to score six goals while giving up a whopping twelve. When RWDM played away from home, they had a goal-scoring average of 1.17 and a goal-against average of 2.33. The squad was shown 12 yellow cards but none of the more serious red cards, and a total of 92 fouls were committed by both teams. The RWDM team has an average rating of 6.67 after each encounter. RWDM is not very strong at keeping control of the ball, as evidenced by their overall average of 44.83% during this season.

It is true that the home team lost the match they played prior to this one, but that shouldn't have much of an effect on how well they perform here. RWDM have not been performing at a level that would enable them to defeat Antwerp, the team that won the league championship the year before RWDM. I will be placing my bets on the home team to win with resounding success since it is anticipated that the home team will display dominant play and take control of this match. You may want to consider placing a wager on both teams scoring as well as a large number of goals, particularly in light of the fact that the away team has been performing quite well in recent games when it comes to getting shots on goal.
