Dender - Antwerp predictions

Most online bookmakers don’t put see Dender winning as a likely outcome, and we tend to agree. In fact, they are the clear underdogs compared to Antwerp, which is made quite clear with the 3.72 odds offered for a home win result.

Even with the home-field advantage as a factor, Antwerp have a better chance of winning this clash than their opponents. They can’t afford to relax just yet though – the hosts may prove a tough nut to crack after all.

Dender are flying high in confidence following their stellar performance in the previous round of the Pro League. Despite playing away from home and despite being given unfavourable betting odds, they managed to surprise both fans and punters alike by landing a comprehensive Kortrijk HT/FT victory.

The visitors are here after an eventful match at Mechelen which ended in a 1:1 draw. Such an outcome seems fine for Antwerp considering the fact top online bookmakers priced their victory at 2.77. Still, the lead they managed to snatch in the first half gave their supporters hope that they could pull an upset.

The hosts are here after a series of home games marked by a high concession rate. For instance, they yielded more than 5 goals over the previous 3 matches at Van Roystadion.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Antwerp’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

These two teams reached a stalemate earlier in this season of the Pro League. Antwerp were expected to win that game and even had the support of their home fans. The roles are reversed this time, but the 2.00 betting odds for an away win tell us they still have a decent shot at redeeming themselves.

Though the visitors are favourites here, it’s important to note they’ll be playing without Mahamadou Doumbia, Björn Engels, Christopher Scott due to injury. On the flip side, the hosts will also be several players short – namely, Michaël Lallemand, Jasper van Oudenhove, Danny Fofana, Karol Fila have also reported injuries.

The 1xbet sportsbook is offering 1 odds on the Both Teams to Score market, which is a very good bet to take. Considering the team’s records and statistics, it’s as safe of a bet as possible.
