**Union is on an absolute tear right now** — five straight wins, zero hiccups — and they're rolling into Antwerp looking like genuine title contenders. Antwerp, meanwhile, can't catch a break at home or away. 🔴

Antwerp have won just once in five and are leaking goals at an alarming rate. Union's last three outings have been a clinic: 5-0, 3-2, 3-0. The visitors have all the momentum here, even without **K. Mac Allister** and **R. Sykes** sidelined.

Key storylines:

- **Union's ruthless finishing** vs a shaky Antwerp defence that's conceded 11 in five matches
- **M. Frey** and **I. Salah** need to press high and disrupt Union's build-up play early
- Union's **K. V. D. Perre** and **R. Mofokeng** will exploit gaps if Antwerp commit forward

Expected lineups:

- **Royal Antwerp FC**: T. B. Nozawa, Y. Tsunashima, R. V. Helden, E. Tuypens, M. Busi, X. Dierckx, C. Scott, T. Somers, M. Frey, I. Salah
- **Royale Union Saint-Gilloise**: H. Koffi, G. Smith, M. Sylla, O. Kricfalusi, L. Patris, A. Zorgane, B. Zeneli, K. V. D. Perre, R. Mofokeng, M. Biondic, R. Florucz

Prediction:

**Union 3-1 Antwerp**. Union have the form and firepower; Antwerp are brittle. Expect Union to dominate.
