Royal Antwerp desperately need points on Sunday, Dec 27 at 6:30 PM in the Belgian Pro League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Gent come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Royal Antwerp travel struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Gent won their last outing, while Royal Antwerp suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Gent and Royal Antwerp have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–3D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Royal Antwerp won 2–0.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Gent clear favorites, but Royal Antwerp have shown they can grind out results. Expect Gent to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
