Dender vs Royal Antwerp Prediction
Dender won the Challenger Pro League last season to return to the Jupiler League for the first time since 2009. They have not shown any signs of their long stay away and have performed relatively well. However, Vincent Euvrard's side do not have the best record at home, with only half of their total points tally this term coming in front of their own fans.
Antwerp, for their part, have performed below expectations this season and could drop out of the playoff spots if they lose here.
Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the two sides to share the spoils in a low-scoring stalemate.
