Antwerp vs Leuven Predictions

• Antwerp are unbeaten in their last nine meetings with Leuven
• Leuven have failed to win any of their last seven matches, losing five of those
• The visitors come into this game on the back of a 5-0 loss at Union SG

Antwerp eyeing first win

Royal Antwerp have started the new season with back-to-back draws against Union SG and Genk but they should register their first victory when facing a Leuven side they are unbeaten against across their last nine meetings.

Leuven have failed to win any of their last seven competitive games – a run that stretches back to April – with five of those ending in defeat, including last weekend’s 5-0 loss at Union SG.

David Hubert will hope his side can deliver a much improved display against Antwerp and both meetings between this pair last season ended as score draws, although Leuven have not won away to Sunday’s hosts since August 2014.

Goals expected in open clash

Antwerp should win this game but it could be an open affair as the Great Old have not kept a home clean sheet since October 2024.

Leuven have conceded the most goals of any side in the Belgian Pro League after the opening two rounds so neither of these teams appear to be on top of their games defensively.

A total of 11 goals have been scored across the last three meetings between these two sides and something similar could play out on Sunday, with Antwerp fancied to claim a 3-1 success.
