FCV Dender EH vs Royal Antwerp FC: match statistics
Royal Antwerp FC is in significantly better form, averaging 2.6 points per match in their last five games compared to just 0.8 points for FCV Dender EH. The hosts are in 16th place in the table and have not won any home matches this season (0% win rate), conceding an average of 1.7 goals per match while scoring only 0.6 goals. Antwerp is showing a clear improvement in form with a five-match unbeaten run (4 wins, 1 draw), scoring 11 goals and conceding only 4. The difference in expected goals (xG) also favors the visitors, who generate similar xG values in away matches as the hosts do at home, but defend much more effectively. Dender's poor home form (60% losses, 60% of matches without a goal scored) and Antwerp's excellent run suggest a likely away win, although both teams' solid draw percentages (40% for Dender at home, 33% for Antwerp away) do not completely rule out a share of the points.
