Player to watch: Vincent Janssen
Vincent Janssen opened the scoring in Royal Antwerp's 2-1 victory over Kortrijk last weekend. He has put in some impressive performances over the course of the season, with 13 direct goal involvements in 24 league assignments.
Interestingly, Janssen has an excellent track record against Leuven, as he scored thrice and registered an assist in the last four meetings between these teams. It will be interesting to see how the former Tottenham Hotspur forward fares this weekend.
