Leuven – Antwerp Preview: Latest Form, News, and Potential Lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Leuven vs Antwerp lineups.
Leuven
Leuven suffered a humiliating 1-5 defeat at the hands of Union Saint-Gilloise last weekend. The result at halftime was 1-1 but then Leuven collapsed.
They have conceded 8 goals in 3 rounds now and not surprisingly they have earned just 1 point from those 3 games. In all of the matches played the defensive actions left a lot to be desired.
The problems in defence can be explained by the fact that centre-backs Calut and Tailderman are nursing injuries. They are both set to remain unavailable. Also, key playmaker Maertens started just 1 of the 3 games so far. He has vision problems and has been used sporadically.
Predicted Lineup:
Cojocaru (GK), Dom. Ricca, Pletinckx, Mendyl, Banzuzi, Schrijvers, Kiyine, Thorsteinsson, Opoku & Miguel
Antwerp
Antwerp impressed last weekend when trashing Kortrijk 6-0 at home. Star striker Janssen netted a hat-trick in this match. Antwerp played very well and should have scored more.
Won 2 of their first 3 league games. The only defeat was a narrow 0-1 away loss against giants Anderlecht.
The squad is practically at full strength with only 2 of the young goalkeepers, Butez is the regular on goal, set to miss due to injuries. Very likely to keep the starting lineup the same as last weekend.
Predicted Lineup:
Butez (GK), Bataille, Alderweireld, De Laet, Avila, Ekkelenkamp, Vermeeren, Kerk, Balikwisha, Ondrejka & Janssen
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
OH Leuven
Antwerp
Player to Watch: Vincent Janssen
Antwerp’s top goalscorer from last season bagged his first 3 goals of the new campaign last weekend. Now against a Leuven defence that conceded 8 in 3 rounds, Janssen will certainly fancy his chances. We can see him adding more goals to his tally in the coming match.
