Antwerp preview: Aiming for fourth straight home win
Antwerp made it six league games without defeat when they made the trip to Leuven last weekend.
Jacob Ondrejka fired the visitors in front with his sixth league goal of the campaign in the first half but Leuven carved out an equaliser in the second 45 and the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
Sunday's hosts have a few injury concerns ahead of the Standard Liege clash as Dennis Praet, Christopher Scott, Jairo Riedewald, Ange Balikwisha and Bjorn Engels are all on their way back from injury.
Predicted lineup: Lammens (GK), Alderweireld, Costa, Van Den Bosch, Corbanie, Renders, Chery, Doumbia, Janssen, Kerk & Ondrejka

Standard preview: Lost three of last four on the road
Standard Liege ended their three-game winless run at home to Sporting Charleroi last time out.
Two goals late in the first half from Dennis Eckert Ayensa and Bosko Sutalo put Standard into a commanding position and even though Charleroi pulled a goal back late in the game, the hosts held on to secure all three points.
Nathan Ngoy, Bolingoli-Mbombo, Souleyman Doumbia, Arnaud Bodart and Laurent Henkinet are all doubts for the trip to Liege due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Epolo (GK), Bates, Lawrence, Sutalo, Hautekiet, Camara, O'Neill, Bulat, Price, Eckert Ayensa & Zeqiri

Player to watch: Jacob Ondrejka
Antwerp striker Jacob Ondrejka took his time to adapt to life in Belgium following his move from his homeland of Sweden in 2023.
The 22-year-old scored five times in 23 league appearances for Antwerp but was in and out of the team on a regular basis. This season, Ondrejka seems to have nailed down a spot in the starting lineup and that has seen the young forward score six times in 11 games in the First Division A.
Ondrejka has made a great start to the season
We're backing Ondrejka to put in another good performance this weekend in a game that Antwerp should be winning comfortably.
