Royal Antwerp will host Sint-Truidense at the Bosuilstadion on Friday night in another round of the 2022-23 Jupiler Pro League campaign.
The Reds have enjoyed a stellar start to their league campaign and are making an early push for the league title. However, they suffered their first defeat of the season last time out as they lost 2-1 to struggling KV Kortrijk, finding themselves two goals down at the break before Vincent Janssen scored a late consolation goal from the spot.
Royal Antwerp sit atop the league standings with 27 points from 10 games. They will now be looking to shake off their latest result and get their campaign back on track this weekend.
Sint-Truidense, meanwhile, have had mixed results this season and currently find themselves in the bottom half of the league table. They were beaten 1-0 by KAS Eupen in their last game and perhaps deserved more from the game as they were the more dominant side but were guilty of wasteful finishing.
The visitors have picked up 13 points from 10 games this season and sit 11th in the league standings.
