Westerlo host Antwerp at Het Kuipje on October 11, 2026, with kick-off set for 16:30 local time. This eighth-round Pro League meeting brings together two sides heading in different directions: Westerlo are eighth after a run of three victories, while 13th-placed Antwerp have lost four consecutive league matches. The home side have a chance to build on their recent momentum, but their goals-conceded record gives Antwerp a reason to believe they can make this a competitive encounter.

Westerlo's Recent Form and Key Stats

Westerlo enter the match with three wins, one draw and one defeat from their last five games. Their most recent listed result was a 2-0 away win against Sint-Truiden on September 20, the latest in a sequence of three victories, each by a two-goal margin. Westerlo have also led at half-time in each of their last three Pro League matches, an encouraging sign as they prepare to face a struggling Antwerp side.

Across those five games, Westerlo averaged 2.4 goals scored and 1.6 conceded per match. Their season figures present a more mixed picture: three wins, one draw and three losses in seven Pro League outings, with averages of 2.1 goals scored and 2.3 conceded. The recent winning streak is clear progress, but that season-long defensive average suggests there is still room for Antwerp to threaten.

Westerlo will be looking to turn their current form into another result at Het Kuipje. The three successive wins provide a stronger guide to their immediate momentum than their even record of three victories and three defeats this season, though the goals they have conceded across the campaign caution against treating the fixture as straightforward.

Antwerp's Recent Form and Key Stats

Antwerp arrive without a win in their last five matches, a sequence comprising one draw and four defeats. They lost 2-0 to Union Saint-Gilloise on September 20 and have suffered four consecutive league losses. Reversing that run against a team that has won three straight games is the challenge facing the visitors.

Antwerp's last five matches have produced averages of 1.2 goals scored and 2.8 conceded per game. Their broader Pro League record stands at two wins, one draw and four defeats, with 1.6 goals scored and 2.1 conceded on average. Those figures point to problems at the back, particularly in the recent stretch, although Antwerp's scoring average leaves open the possibility of a response in this match.

There is also a consistent corners trend in Antwerp's away fixtures: more than 8.5 corners have been taken in each of their last 13 away matches, including their last 12 away games in the Pro League. That is a match-level statistic rather than a count of corners won by Antwerp. Separately, two of their last 10 Pro League away matches finished without a goal, a reminder that their away games have not always followed the same scoring pattern.

Westerlo vs Antwerp Match Analysis

The clearest contrast in this Pro League preview is recent form. Westerlo have won three times in their last five matches and have led at the interval in three straight league games; Antwerp have taken no wins from their last five and conceded an average of 2.8 goals over that period. A strong start from the hosts would fit those trends, but the match still has questions at both ends of the pitch.

Westerlo's season average of 2.3 goals conceded per game is significant when assessing Antwerp's chances. Although the visitors failed to score in their latest listed defeat, they have averaged 1.6 goals across their seven league matches. Equally, Westerlo's recent scoring rate of 2.4 goals per game comes up against an Antwerp side whose defensive record has worsened over its last five outings. Together, those figures make goals for both teams a credible possibility without diminishing Westerlo's recent advantage in results.

The head-to-head summary is more balanced than the current form: across the five listed meetings, Westerlo have two wins and Antwerp three, with no draws. The latest meeting ended 2-0 on May 23, 2026. That result shows this fixture can produce a clean sheet, while the present scoring and conceding averages suggest a different outcome is also possible. Westerlo bring the stronger run into Sunday's game; whether Antwerp can end their losing streak may depend on improving a defence that has conceded heavily of late.
