RWDM form and stats

RWDM have only collected 10 points from their away games in the First Division B, after 3-1-7 (11 played).

Prior to that match, the RWDM manager V. Euvrard faced defeat when travelling to Union Saint-Gilloise and losing 1-2.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Deinze was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 8 goals, will the fun continue today? As mentioned above, RWDM drew the match against Deinze. Manager V. Euvrard brought on K. Mata to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

RWDM are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 16 away goals from 11 games (in the league). It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For RWDM, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
