Dender form and stats

The visitors are W3-D5-L5 on the road this term. That's in the First Amateur Division. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Dender are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

The attacking players of Dender have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 243 minutes.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Dender, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Thes Sport (placed 11th).

Prior to that match, the Dender manager Acker faced defeat when travelling to Liège and losing 0-3.

Dender are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and three defeats. From a total of six matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Dender are hosting Rupel Boom in the First Amateur Division only three days away.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Dender have scored 16 goals in 13 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Dender have conceded 22 goals in their away games.
