Royal Antwerp vs. Standard Liege Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Royal Antwerp and Standard Liège, taking place on Saturday, 11 November 2023, at Bosuilstadion in Antwerp.
Royal Antwerp, Recent Form
Having taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-2 home win over Genk in their last league game, Royal Antwerp will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 48%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Genk, who had 17 shots on goal with 8 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They've kept 6 clean sheets so far this season.
They have been performing well at Bosuilstadion recently and are unbeaten in their last 8 home games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Royal Antwerp, Michel-Ange Balikwisha will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Standard Liege, Recent Form
Standard Liège manager Carl Hoefkens will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Mechelen. In that game they recorded 53 % of the possession, with 10 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 11 shots on goal.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 12 of their 13 games.
Unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches can be counted as a good run of form, particularly with 3 victories included.
On an individual basis, Wilfried Kanga has scored in each of Standard Liège's last 2 league games away from home.
Royal Antwerp vs. Standard Liege Head to head
Standard Liège will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Royal Antwerp, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 4-1 defeat.
Goals should be on the cards for Les Rouches in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Antwerp in their last 9 meetings together.
