"Despite suffering a second-half collapse last time out as they eventually snatched a 2-2 stalemate against Belgian giants Anderlecht, the Reds should find the mood in their camp at a continued high. Extending on their Belgium Cup adventure earlier this month as they opened December with a nail-bitting penalty shootout victory against St. Truiden, the former Twente boss has not seen his resurgent squad suffer a single defeat from any of their previous five domestic appearances across all competitions (four wins, one draw)."
"However, despite enjoying an impressive September flurry, De Boeren have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion and have come tumbling down the table. Last seen putting in a toothless performance as they slumped to a routine 2-0 loss away at title contenders Royale Union, Sven Vandenbroeck's side are enduring what has quickly become an extended rut."
Antwerp will host Waregem at the Bosuilstadion on Saturday lunchtime. Antwerp remain in strong form after a Belgian Cup penalty shootout win over St. Truiden and a 2-0 victory at Gent. The side are unbeaten in their last five domestic matches (four wins, one draw) and have suffered just one defeat since the November international break. Antwerp seek to build on their most fruitful spell of the season and push for European qualification. Waregem, newly promoted, prioritize top-flight survival but have fallen into a slump. They have not won in eight consecutive matches since October 29 and recently lost 2-0 to Royale Union.
