Preview

Match preview

Heist host Antwerp in the Belgian Cup Round of 32 looking to make the most of home advantage against top-flight opposition. Heist secured a 3-2 victory in their previous cup tie and have frequently featured in high-scoring contests on their own ground, including a 3-1 win over Cercle Brugge II and a 2-2 draw with Kortrijk.

Antwerp enter this knockout encounter amidst a challenging sequence of results, having lost each of their last five matches. Defensive frailties have been central to that slide, with Antwerp conceding 15 goals across those five games, including heavy away defeats against KVC Westerlo (1-5) and Club Brugge KV (1-3).

With Antwerp struggling to keep opponents quiet and Heist proving consistently capable in front of goal while rarely keeping clean sheets, the dynamics favour an open and attacking cup tie.

Four of Heist's last five matches have generated at least four goals, with scorelines of 3-1, 1-3, 2-2, and 2-3, alongside their 3-2 cup victory. Antwerp have allowed 15 goals across their last five fixtures, conceding at least three goals on three occasions. Given the defensive issues evident in Antwerp's recent away matches and Heist's track record of participating in high-scoring affairs, the probability of exceeding 2.5 total goals is well supported.
