"The Great Old" - Royal Antwerp is the oldest football club in Belgium and was founded in 1880. In the well over 100-year club history so far four titles have been won - last time, however, in the season 1956/57. Although these titles are long ago, Royal Antwerpen is the last Belgian club to play in an international final. In 1993, there was a defeat in the European Cup Winners Cup against FC Parma at Wembley Stadium.

For a quarter of a century now (season 1994/95) Royal Antwerp was no longer represented internationally. This long wait could soon come to an end. The underdog in the play-offs has a relatively routine crew. While in many other Belgian teams quite a few youngsters can attract attention, the average age of the team of head coach Laszlo Bölöni is usually in the range of 28-30 years.
The qualification for the championship playoff can certainly be described as a surprise. Between 2005 and 2017, the club acted in the second Belgian league and was able to reach the eighth place in the promotion year. This was topped again with sixth place in the current basic round. However, the team seemed to run out of steam in the season finale. In the last six games of the regular championship there was only one victory - and four defeats.

After the first leg defeat against Standard Liège in the first play-off game but the turnaround succeeded. Royal Antwerp scored ten points in their last four games. Against the leaders from Genk the Bölöni-Elf celebrated a surprise victory, on the Easter weekend against champions Club Brugge a respectable 0-0 draw was achieved. The form is now correct and thanks to the self-confidence Standard Liège is now outdated. But a complete success is necessary for that. If the hosts prevail in the duel between Antwerp and Standard Liege, wait for odds of up to 2.30.

The runner-up is still possible, the championship, however, given eight points behind KAA Gent is no longer realistic. Last time Standard Liege was able to celebrate the title win in the 2008/09 season. At that time sat on the bench of the now-Antwerp coach Laszlo Bölöni. So it comes on Friday evening to see you again with the now 66-year-old ex-champion coach!
Personnel can draw from the full standard Liege up to striker Obbi Oulare. However, Watford FC's 23-year-old loaner is missing almost the entire season due to a shin fracture. Compared to last week Preud'homme is expected to be able to count again on top striker Renaud Emond (twelve goals this season in the base round). Ex-HSV flop Alen Halilovic will have to move to the bank for this.

Standard Liège played extremely strong this season and celebrated a dozen victories in 17 home games, losing only two. The away balance, however, reads only average (six wins, four draws, seven defeats). Qualitatively, the squad of the guests is certainly more to classify than that of Antwerp. Accordingly, it is obvious between Antwerp and Standard Liege a prediction on at least one point win of the guests.
