[Football- Belgium 'Jupilier League'] 21.1/ 20:45 KV Oostende- Royal Antwerp
Antwerp are doing okay for themselves (3 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw in last 5) and had a great first game of the year last week vs Charleroi (6th in the standings) that ended 3-0. Goalkeeper Butez had a strong game, while striker Michael Frey netted 2 goals after not scoring since 28th of november. He scored 17 goals this season and is 2nd in the topscorer ranking. Antwerp have no important players out for this match.
Oostende had a great season last year ending 5th in the league, but this season hasn't been to write home about. They're 15th in the league and have been struggeling as of late. They have 2 wins and 3 losses in their last 5, with one win coming against last place Beerschot (only 9 points so far). They lost their coach Alexander Blessin to Genoa yesterday and ofcourse haven't found a replacement yet. On top of that Oostende will be missing midfielder Rocha and Defender Fortes because of the afcon (Cape Verde) and aren't available to play yet. Midfielder Boonen, 2nd keeper Schelfhout and defender Osifo due to injuries. They will definitely be missing Fortes and Rocha and The defense has been thinned out. Last match they conceded 4 goals without Fortes in the defence.
With Oostendes coach leaving and the number of injuries for Oostende, i think Antwerp are the better team by a mile and should get an easy win here. Also, last time these teams played (28th of december) the game ended 3-0 in the favor of Antwerp.
