Leuven vs Antwerp Prediction: Antwerp to make a statement once again

King Power at Den Dreef Stadion will be the venue for the round 11 Jupiler Pro League game between Leuven and Antwerp. Antwerp pulled off a hard-fought 2-3 win at this venue in their last meeting. Will the road team repeat that result, or can Leuven get things right?

Leuven's last league encounter was against KV Mechelen, and they lost 5-0. In that game, Federico Ricca received a red card 12 minutes into the game, giving their opponent a good advantage. Before the break, this team was behind by two goals while conceding three times in the second half. However, Leuven failed to win any of their last four matches, with two defeats against Gent and St. Truiden while drawing Kortrijk. In 10 league matches, Leuven have 11 points, leaving them seated 14th in the standings. 

Antwerp's last league game was against Cercle Brugge KSV, and they secured a 3-0 win. In that game, Gyrano Kerk and Tjarron Chery scored for Antwerp in the first half, and an 83rd-minute Jacob Ondrejka goal was enough to seal maximum points for Antwerp. In the meantime, Antwerp head into this game on a four-game winning run, defeating Beerschot VA, Westerlo, and Union Saint-Gilloise in that run. This season, Antwerp have 19 points from a possible 30, leaving them second in the standings. 

Antwerp are playing well right now, while Leuven have failed to show character. While the two teams should be at their best, Antwerp still look like the better team, considering their victories and unbeaten run. At home, Leuven should be solid and have their luck in attack. Therefore, we should expect goals while the road team takes maximum points.
