Prediction published on May 22, 2026 8:01 AM by Dario in Belgium - Pro League | Modified on May 22, 2026 8:01 AM
The final round of the Pro League brings together Royal Antwerp and KVC Westerlo in a match with no major stakes left on the table. Both sides are out of contention for European qualification, but pride and the desire to end the season on a positive note will drive their performances. For Antwerp, the closing weeks have been disappointing, while Westerlo will look to take advantage of their opponent’s poor form to finish the campaign with a smile.
Antwerp approach this fixture after a goalless draw against Genk on May 19, extending a frustrating run of four matches without a win. Their recent record shows 1 victory, 1 draw, and 3 defeats in the last five outings, with an average of only 0.8 goals scored per game and 2.2 conceded. The lack of attacking efficiency has been a major concern, as the team has failed to find the net in 360 consecutive minutes of play. Over the course of the season, Antwerp have registered 12 wins, 9 draws, and 18 losses, averaging 1.1 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per match in the Pro League.
Home performances have also been inconsistent. The team has lost at half time in 6 of their last 10 home fixtures, often struggling to impose their rhythm early in games. Another notable trend is their low-scoring first halves: at least one team has failed to score before the break in 30 of their last 32 league matches. These figures underline a recurring difficulty in creating early chances and maintaining defensive stability simultaneously.
Despite their struggles, Antwerp will aim to give their supporters a final home performance to remember. A strong defensive display and renewed attacking intent could help them avoid closing the season on a negative note.
Westerlo have also endured a difficult end to the campaign, though their form remains slightly better than that of their opponents. Their last outing ended in a 1-2 home defeat against Standard Liège on May 19, marking their third loss in five matches. Over that stretch, they have recorded 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 defeats, averaging 1.4 goals scored and 2.4 conceded per game. Defensively, the team has been vulnerable, conceding two or more goals in several recent fixtures.
Across the season, Westerlo’s record stands at 14 wins, 10 draws, and 15 losses, with an average of 1.3 goals scored and 1.4 conceded per match. Away from home, their matches have tended to be tight affairs, with Under 3.5 goals recorded in each of their last 11 away league games. Like Antwerp, they also tend to start slowly, as at least one team has failed to score at half time in 29 of their last 31 league fixtures.
Although Westerlo’s defense has been leaky, their attack remains capable of producing moments of quality. The team’s motivation to exploit Antwerp’s current weaknesses could make them a dangerous opponent, especially if they manage to score first. A disciplined performance could allow them to secure a positive result to close the season.
This fixture is expected to be balanced, with both teams struggling for consistency but eager to finish on a high. Antwerp will rely on home advantage to rediscover their scoring touch, while Westerlo will look to capitalize on their opponent’s fragile confidence. Given the recent head-to-head record — three wins for Antwerp and two for Westerlo, with an average of 1.8 goals scored and conceded per side — another competitive encounter seems likely.
Statistically, the match leans slightly toward the visitors. The win probabilities stand at 34% for Antwerp, 25% for a draw, and 41% for Westerlo. The Both Teams To Score market shows a 56% chance of success, while Over 2.5 goals is estimated at 54%. These numbers suggest a lively contest, though both sides’ recent inefficiency in front of goal could temper expectations.
Considering the overall dynamics, Westerlo’s slightly better momentum and Antwerp’s ongoing scoring drought make the visitors the more reliable pick to avoid defeat. The match could feature a cautious start, with most of the action unfolding in the second half as both teams push for a morale-boosting result.
