Lierse Kempenzonen form and stats

Lierse Kempenzonen's struggle is real here at Herman Vanderpoortenstadion with only 6 points collected from 6 First Division B games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-0-4. The home stadium (Herman Vanderpoortenstadion) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Lierse Kempenzonen it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around? Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Kempenzonen with their four defeats in a row. Not since the RFC Seraing game, 35 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

E. Samyn was the last player to score a league goal for Lierse Kempenzonen and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Lierse Kempenzonen haven't scored in 360 minutes.

Kempenzonen are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-5 away versus Union Saint-Gilloise. Preceding that match was the home game against Westerlo that was lost 0-1.

As you see from the result above, Kempenzonen suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

A decent goal production from Lierse Kempenzonen in their home games so far, with 9 goals from 6 league matches. Kempenzonen have conceded 14 goals in these home games, a significant number.
