Royal Antwerp faces KVC Westerlo amidst significant squad issues and fatigue following a midweek cup tie. Key offensive absences for Antwerp, coupled with their unsustainable xG overperformance, suggest a tempered attacking output. Westerlo, despite their own striker absence, benefits from fresher legs and a tactical setup that could exploit Antwerp's vulnerabilities, indicating potential for a tighter contest than market perception.
