Editorial Prediction
Considering the current form of the teams, an intense clash is expected, with the visitors having a slight edge due to their higher level of play in recent months. It's quite possible that we won't see a high-scoring affair, as the season's end approaches and teams focus on defense to secure crucial points. It's hard to believe the hosts will score more than once, as trends suggest this is a challenging task for them. The league leaders need to make their mark, and our bet is on Antwerp's individual total under 1.5 goals.
