An entertaining match is expected at the Bosuil
Royal Antwerp FC come into their home game against K. Sint-Truidense on Sunday with mixed, but dangerous form after a 0-3 away win at KV Kortrijk and a 4-4 home draw against Racing Genk in their last two Pro League 2026/2027 outings. Antwerp have been a little all over the place since Marvin Compper took over on 3 August 2026, but his team have been playing on the front foot and progressing the ball quickly down the flanks, which should stretch STVV's compact shape.
STVV are also in mixed form with one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five and they come into this fixture on the back of consecutive Pro League 2026/2027 draws that were followed by a 1-0 Europa League qualifying win over Omonia FC Nicosia. Frederic De Meyer has had STVV organised and compact since 1 July 2026, as they've used a narrow mid-block and selective pressing to control the pace of games. They will try to nick this match by breaking quickly and keeping it tight, but Antwerp's high press should ensure a fairly open game.
- Michael Frey is The Great Old's main man in the Pro League 2026/2027 so far, with four goals in three matches and two of Antwerp's last four goals in five matches, while Ryan Merlen is STVV's sharpest edge with two in two.
- Ilias Sebaoui has two assists in two and is giving De Meyer's transition play some bite.
- Antwerp are the slight favourite at 2.45, but over 2.5 goals at 1.8 looks like the best angle if the game opens up.
STVV will make Antwerp work for it
Form overview
Antwerp's home record in the Pro League 2026/2027 is unbeaten two from two (W1, D1) and STVV have a draw and no losses in one away match, so the stats back up the close nature of this matchup. However, STVV's away form is still a bit flimsy with three goals scored and three conceded per game on average, so we're going for Antwerp to edge a competitive contest.
Head-to-head and table
The draw percentage in this fixture over the last two seasons is zero, with a 1-0 Antwerp win at home in the First Division A 2025/2026 and STVV winning the away game, so we're avoiding the draw in the outright market. The home side is third in the table on seven points from three matches and STVV are 13th with two points from two, so the edge on the table also points to the home team.
