Their last match was a big 5-0 win against Real Betis. They seem to have found their footing. It will give them some extra confidence before they face Antwerp on Wednesday.
Royal Antwerp have not been one of the top Belgian teams. However, they greatly improved and won the domestic league last season. This was their first championship title in 66 long years. However, they are now unbeaten in their last 6 matches throughout all competitions. They won 3-0 in their last match against Westerlo in the Belgian Pro League.
