- in advance, 7:58 PM. Handful of substitutions. Due to the absence of strongmen Jean Butez and Toby Alderweireld, the Antwerp starting eleven looks a bit different than that against Racing Genk. Senne Lammens and Zeno Van Den Bosch are the logical replacements at the back. Jelle Bataille, Arbnor Muja and Vincent Janssen also (surprisingly) start on the bench in Porto. Their replacements are Owen Wijndal, Gyrano Kerk and the very young George Ilenikhena. .
