Antwerp vs Royale Union SG Prediction: two top teams battles for Pro League’s top spot

At the Bosuilstadion in Antwerp, Antwerp will host Royale Union SG in their round 5 of their Pro League campaign. Both teams will be coming into this match from a win in their weekend features. We hope to enjoy an exciting match from two top teams. 

Antwerp - can they make it consecutive wins against Royale Union?

Antwerp will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following the 1-2 First Division A triumph versus KAA Gent. In that match, Antwerp had 47% possession and 6 shots at goal with 4 on target. For Antwerp, goals were scored by Vincent Janssen (15') and Michael Frey (27'). Gent had 13 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Sven Kums (10') was the scorer for KAA Gent. Antwerp have been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, netting in one hundred percent of their last 6 matches. They’ve managed to rack up 11 during that time while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 7. Historical results aside, we will just have to wait and expect them to have another top notch perform.

Royale Union SG - defending champions can not lose again
