Royal Antwerp welcome R. Union SG to Bosuil Stadion for a Belgian Jupiler League matchday seven fixture on Sunday. The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Gent before the international break a fortnight ago.
They went behind to Sven Kums' 16th-minute strike while Tjarron Cherry drew the game level on the half-hour mark. Gent missed a second-half penalty.
Royal Union, meanwhie, had to settle for a share of the spoils in a goalless draw away to Anderlecht.
The stalemate left Les Unionistes in ninth spot in the table, having garnered nine points from six games. Antwerp are 11th with seven points to their name.

Antwerp vs R. Union SG Prediction
Royal Antwerp had a forgettable title defense last year and the Reds have made a poor start to the current campaign. They kick-started the season with a victory over Sporting Charleroi but have won just one of five games since then (three losses).
R. Union SG, for their part, have also been in indifferent form this season. Sébastien Pocognoli's side have won just one of their last four league games, playing out a goalless stalemate in each of their last two.
Both sides have been involved in low-scoring and cagey games this season. Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.
Prediction: Royal Antwerp 1-1 R. Union SG
