THE PREDICTION
Last season saw Antwerp make it to the knockout stages of the Europa League, eventually falling to Rangers in the round of 32 and after finishing third-place in the Jupiler Pro League to qualify for European football once again, they’ll be hoping for another good run in this year’s competition. They take on Omonia Nicosia for a place in the group stage with a difficult first leg ahead in Cyprus. Henning Berg’s men have lost just twice at Neo GSP this calendar year and are expected to start on the front foot, taking the game to Antwerp from an offensive perspective. However, whilst this may see Omonia profit in front of goal, it could also lead to Antwerp punishing them on the counter attack, as the visitors certainly boast the quality within their ranks to take advantage of any extra space afforded to them inside the opposition half. Therefore, regardless of who comes out on top here, both teams to score should be seriously considered.
