KV Oostende - Antwerp betting tips and odds

Most online bookmakers don’t put see KV Oostende 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 4.33 odds offered for a home win result.

The odds are clearly leaning in the away team’s favour, though the difference is by no means insurmountable. KV Oostende will have to give their all to come out on top, though, while Antwerp merely have to make sure not to make major mistakes.

KV Oostende are coming off from a narrow 2:1 away defeat in the previous round. The home-field disadvantage and a very difficult match-up against Mechelen ensured that they spent most of the game trailing behind.

Although Antwerp’s previous Pro League outing at Union Saint-Gilloise was a crushing away loss, it’s hard to judge their form based on that performance alone. After all, they were out-classed by Union Saint-Gilloise, who secured an early lead and a comfortable 2:0 victory in the end.

KV Oostende’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 7 goals throughout their latest three Pro League matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

The first time they matched with KV Oostende, Antwerp ended the match with a lead of more than two goals. They’re playing as the away team this time, but most bookies are pricing their victory at 1.80, which makes them the favourites.

With no injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their full rosters available for an exciting showdown.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.7, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
