Royal Antwerp II vs Cappellen - Second Amateur Division - VFV B

A fascinating Second Amateur Division - VFV B chapter awaits on October 3, 2026 when Royal Antwerp II take on Cappellen at the home ground — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. Manchester City face the K-League All-Stars in Seoul on Wednesday as part of their pre-season tour of Asia.

Both Royal Antwerp II and Cappellen will be eager to build momentum when they meet in Second Amateur Division - VFV B. Royal Antwerp II's recent form is difficult to quantify, but the occasion itself should bring the best out of them. The visitors will back themselves to cause problems and will not make the trip expecting an easy afternoon. Ipswich would be open to permanent offers for the winger, who has three years to run on his contract.

Stylistically, this is a compelling matchup. Royal Antwerp II favour a patient, possession-based approach, whereas Cappellen are at their most dangerous when allowed to hit quickly on the counter. But the key difference is understanding the game, in possession and out of possession.

Neither side is short on individuals capable of tilting the balance, and the duel between the two squads' chief creators could prove particularly pivotal. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. However, it has been said that after asking for information on Zirkzee and Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, the Blues forward is a more feasible option.

Without the market to lean on, the contest feels genuinely open — and the outcome may come down to which side handles the occasion better. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 1-1 draw feels like a fitting result. More than just three points is on the line at the home ground — this is a fixture that could shape the narrative of both clubs' seasons. A more central role appears likely given the sale of Youri Tielemans to Manchester United and the anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered by Amadou Onana at the World Cup.
