Preview:
This will be a tale of two contrasting teams jousting for supremacy as the Belgian Pro League moves on. Royal Antwerp FC is comfortably nestled in the second position of the points table that has seen them rack up 15 wins and 5 draws from 26 games that they have played so far with a tally of 50 points. They are ten points adrift of Union Saint-Gilloise and a win in this game will bring them in close contention of the points table. They were on an undefeated streak for four games until they slumped to table-toppers USG. Deniz Undav’s double whammy in the second half condemned them to a defeat after a long time. They tried desperately to keep afloat but somehow their incursions were met with extreme hostility as the table toppers would only allow them 2 shots on target. RFC Seraing is currently in the seventeenth position of the points table with 7 wins and 2 draws so far that has seen them garnering 23 points. They have blown hot and cold in the recent times that has seen them being bested by Charleroi and STVV while they humbled the likes of Beerschot and drew with Eupen. They will be coming on the back of a defeat against Charleroi where they were found themselves numerically depleted for the last one hour after Benjamin Boulenger was given marching orders.
