Royal Antwerp will host Club Brugge at the Bosuilstadion on Sunday in another round of the 2022-23 Jupiler Pro League championship round.
The home side are enjoying a good run of results at the moment and are now targeting a domestic double. They picked up a 2-1 comeback win over Genk last time out, falling behind at the 20th-minute mark before Toby Alderweireld and Michel Balikwisha got on the scoresheet to turn the tie around.
Antwerp sit atop the Championship Round table with 42 points picked up so far and will now be looking to strengthen their grip at the top with a win on Sunday.
Club Brugge, meanwhile, have had a very underwhelming season and are all but out of contention to lift the Pro League title at the end of the campaign. They were beaten 2-1 by Royal Union Saint-Gilloise last time out and were already two goals down before team captain Hans Vanaken scored a late consolation goal.
