They are on the run of five consecutive defeats in all competitions and four consecutive defeats in the league. In the last nine league games they suffered seven defeats. Only Seraing is in a worst form than them.
Oostende has the worst defensive record in the Belgium league with 44 goals conceded. They kept only one clean sheet this season. When Oostende plays there are always a lot of goals. They have 3.3 goals per game and only three teams have more goals in their games than Oostende.

Royal Antwerp FC Team News
After starting a season with nine wins in the first nine games, Antwerp has only three wins from the last 11 games. They slipped to 3rd place in the table and now leader Genk is 13 points far.
They have two wins in the last nine games and only four clubs are in the worst form in the league than them.
Antwerp is the very good home side with eight wins in 10 games but away from home, they are very poor in recent weeks. They are without a win away from home in the last six games, since the middle of September, and they failed to keep a clean sheet in those games.
Because of three wins in the Belgium Cup, Antwerp has only one defeat in the last eight games in all competitions. This is a very important game for them because, after this game against Oostende, they will have a run of very difficult games against Standard, Club Brugge, Genk, and Anderlecht in a space of three weeks.

KV Oostende vs Royal Antwerp FC Prediction
Antwerp is the favourite here, Oostende is in a very bad run and in a relegation fight. Antwerp knows that they must win something from this game because of the very tough schedule in the next three weeks.
Oostende is also struggling against top teams this season and didn’t win a single point. If you want to bet on a full-time you can back Antwerp, but we will skip a full-time bet and go for goals here.
When they meet there are always a lot of goals and when Oostende plays this season is very interesting to follow that.
