- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
- Venue: Bosuilstadion (Deurne)
The 2024/25 season was another solid year for Antwerp as they ended in the Championship group. Expectations are similar for the upcoming season. Antwerp doesn't seem good enough to compete with the best Belgian teams, but the top six status shouldn't be a question. Antwerp had a solid preseason with two wins and one defeat. In the last test before the Jupiler Pro League start, Stef Wils' team won 2-0 against Eupen.
Union SG were a surprising Jupiler Pro League champion last season. That was their first league title since 1935. While Union SG remains one of the best teams in the competition, it is also clear that some other clubs have bigger budgets, so it will not be easy for Union SG to defend the title. During the preseason, Union SG had a 2-1-1 record. Last weekend, Union SG started the 2024/25 with a 2-1 Super Cup defeat against Club Brugge. For a large portion of the game, Sebastien Pocognoli's team was the better side, but eventually, they left the final empty-handed.
Antwerp vs Union SG pick: Under 2.5 goals
Antwerp allowed only one goal in three preseason matches, while Union SG conceded five goals in five games this summer. We shouldn't expect more than two goals in the upcoming tie at Bosuilstadion.

Antwerp team news
Antwerp is probably weaker than in the previous season, as the team left too many important players. The best signing this summer is probably winger Thibo Somers, who came from Cercle Brugge. The club also added Daam Foulon (KV Mechelen), Taishi Brandon Nozawa (Tokyo), Mukhammadali Urinboev (Pakhtakor), and Geoffry Hairemans (KV Mechelen).

Union SG team news
Union SG lost too many important players, too. The team earned almost 40 million euros this summer, but now they have to find adequate replacements. So far, Union SG have signed only Raul Florucz (who came from Olimpija Ljubljana) and Adem Zorgane (Charleroi).
