Antwerp moved to 10th position with 3 points gained, closing the gap on mid-table rivals. Westerlo remained ninth but saw their momentum checked after consecutive wins. Our model flagged Antwerp's defensive vulnerability as a season-long concern; this clean sheet provided temporary relief but does not signal a sustained trend given their 20% clean sheet rate.
