The home team is currently in the 4th position of the league, with 44 points won, after 12 wins, 8 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Club Brugge, by (2‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against RWDM, by (0‑4). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 35 goals scored and 19 conceded.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 12 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 25 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 12 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Antwerp arrives into this match fueled by a streak of three consecutive wins in the competition, which could serve as a positive momentum for the team. Despite facing an opponent also on an unbeaten streak, it's essential for the home team to uphold their high standards on the field. Ultimately, securing victory will heavily rely on the team's performance and efforts on the pitch.

Confirmed Lineup: Jean Butez, Jelle Bataille, Zeno Van Den Bosch, Toby Alderweireld, Owen Wijndal, Mandela Keita, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Mahamadou Doumbia, Vincent Janssen, Chidera Ejuke, Jacob Ondrejka.

Analysis Mechelen

The away team is currently in the 9th position of the league, with 32 points won, after 9 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against AS Eupen, by (0‑1). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Genk, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 17 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 13 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Mechelen has a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses, so they have won 13 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 25 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 14 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 12 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 5 of their 13 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Riding on an unbeaten streak in the competition, Mechelen is well aware of the need to maintain the same approach and focus in this game. Facing Antwerp at their home stadium won't be an easy task, underscoring the importance of players being highly concentrated. There's little room for error on the field, given the technical quality of the hosts.
