Royal Antwerp will host Sint-Truidense at the Bosouilstadion on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Jupiler Pro League campaign.
The home side have had their struggles this season but remain hopeful of clinching a spot in the Championship round as the regular season runs to an end. They played out a 2-2 draw against Gent in their last league outing before beating second-tier outfit Oostende 3-0 in the Beker van Belgie on Thursday to advance to a second consecutive cup final.
Royal Antwerp sit fourth in the league table with 45 points from 27 matches. They are level on points with third-placed Club Brugge and could leapfrog them with a win on Sunday.
Sint-Truidense have had mixed results in the league this season but remain hopeful of a top-half league finish. They beat Westerlo 1-0 in their last match, with Japan international Ryotaro Ito scoring the sole goal of the game late in the first half.
The visitors sit mid-table in ninth place with 37 points and will be hopeful of adding to that tally this weekend.
