The visitors suffered a 2-1 loss to Anderlecht earlier this season but bounced back with a 6-1 home win over Sint-Truiden last week. Jacob Ondrejka bagged a hat-trick while Vincent Janssen picked up one assist.

Club Brugge vs Antwerp Prediction
Blauw-Zwart have endured a poor run of form, losing three of their four games in all competitions. They have drawn their last three home games in the Belgian Pro League. They have an impressive home record against the visitors in the league and will look to build on that form.
The Reds have won two of their three league games thus far. They registered a thumping 6-1 win last week, scoring six goals in the league for the first time since November, and will look to continue their goalscoring form in this match.
While the visitors head into the match in better form, considering the recent history of the two teams, we expect Brugge to produce a strong performance at home and a draw is likely to ensue.
