Persistence the likely significant for Royale Union SG

This looks like one of those encounters where Royale Union SG just do enough to get the result and they're sure to be asked some questions by this Antwerp outfit.

There's nothing inevitable about this fixture but the hosts will want to move on from some of their recent displays. Antwerp can't be trusted in terms of value betting, having lost 3 of their last 4 matches. A look at some of the away team's results provides some clues for what to expect.

Royale Union SG have won 8 of their last 14 trips away. Their decent results have been characterised by their confidence in front of goal. They've scored at least once in 13 of their last 14 away fixtures and assuming they don't have any absentees from their starting 11 between now and the start of the match, they should have the play-makers to enjoy further success here. In defence they have also posted some good numbers. They've conceded no more than once in 13 of their last 16 away matches. If the visitors put in a repeat of what they are capable of they should be the ones left smiling at full-time.

To be fair, it won't be a surprise to see them finish with the stalemate. The betting markets imply that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match as they can both be dangerous in attack. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks reasonable here.

The head-to-head results show that Antwerp have not won any of the last 3 games between the teams.
