Antwerp – the shape of the team and its analysis:
The "Great Old" were magnificent in the season before last when they secured the "golden double." In the 2023/2024 season, they added the Supercup, and the club also debuted in the group stage of the Champions League – though they didn’t perform well there. Ultimately, the club, having lost momentum, finished in sixth position.
The new coach, De Roeck, debuted in the first round of the new championship on Charleroi’s field. They quickly opened the scoring in their favor and maintained it until the end.
Anderlecht – the shape of the team and its analysis:
The "Purple and White" have not won any trophies since 2017 when they became the national champions for the 34th time. However, last season they managed to secure third place in the Jupiler League – thereby guaranteeing their return to European competitions. Despite finishing in second position after the regular season, they had no real chances of winning the "gold."
The new season for Brian Riemer's team began with a home match against Sint-Truiden. They managed to win, but only thanks to a goal scored by Stuykens in the second added minute.
