Royal Antwerp FC have managed to contain Union SG twice this season. The two matches ended in draws twice. Mark van Bommel praised PSL leader Jupiler after last weekend's draw.
Praise for SG Union
Union SG is almost impossible to beat in the Belgian competition. This is no coincidence, according to the Royal Antwerp coach. “What makes them so unbeatable? For me, Union is among the top three, top five counter teams in Europe,” Van Bommel said.
“And I don't mean that in a negative way, right? That's the way it is. They're going backwards, but they're very dangerous. Just look at their goals against us: those are standard situations or transitional moments. And they're all running.” “As quickly as possible, that's character. If they have to run, they run. They do everything they can. That's why it's quite annoying to play against them,” the coach said.
Three times Antwerp vs Union
Union SG reaches the playoffs with 4 more points than Anderlecht. The counter in Antwerp has already reached 10 units. Union SG is already playing for the title for the third year in a row. Brussels residents hope to finally win the award this year.
They will play Antwerp three more times in the coming months. Twice in the qualifiers and of course the Belgian Cup final.
