Beerschot-Wilrijk, who have the most clean sheets (2) at home in First Division B, have played 4 First Division B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-0-2 (wins-draws-losses).

A nice win for Beerschot-Wilrijk last time playing, versus Deinze. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0.

Before that one, a nice away win at Knokke. A Belgian Cup match. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Beerschot-Wilrijk have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 0 and lost 4.

The Beerschot-Wilrijk fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 4 matches. 5 goals have been conceded.

Deinze form and stats

The First Division B season is young and Deinze have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.

Deinze have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 225 minutes ago. Hendrickx was the goal scorer.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Deinze, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Beerschot-Wilrijk (placed 1st).

Earlier, the Belgian Cup victory away at Bocholt (after extra-time). Deinze are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 2 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 7 matches.

Goals are few and far between in Deinze's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels.
