- RWDM have the fewest conceded goals (11) in First Division B
This should be an interesting fixture with lots of spark and energy as both contenders are well renewed since they last played a game. Let's get started!
Waasland-Beveren form and stats
5-1-0 is the performance here at Kunstrasenplatz Jean-Löring-Sportpark so far in the First Division B, giving Waasland-Beveren a total of 16 from their 6 games here. Outstanding results! After failing to beat Excelsior Virton here at Kunstrasenplatz Jean-Löring-Sportpark, Waasland-Beveren has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with five wins in a row.
Waasland-Beveren are returning here after visiting Lierse Kempenzonen and winning with a 5-1 scoreline. Barry, Kablan, Bezua, Coopman and Costa scored the goal(s). As mentioned above, Waasland-Beveren "killed" Lierse Kempenzonen in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
A 2-2 result against Antwerp (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties) before that one, played at home in the Belgian Cup. 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 Waasland-Beveren have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 0 and lost 5.
Goals, goals, goals? Nobody knows what will happen in this one, but we do know that 10 of the 12 most recent league matches with this side has had three or more goals.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (15 in 6 games), Waasland-Beveren's attacking play is working. From these home matches, Waasland-Beveren have conceded only 4 goals.
RWDM form and stats
The visitors are W3-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the First Division B. Impressively, the visitors are on a six-match winning run which they hope continue versus Waasland-Beveren.
RWDM have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Theo Defourny. It's been 277 minutes since they last conceded in First Division B.
RWDM go into this game after a win, the home game against Lommel United that ended 5-0. As mentioned above, RWDM was the only team on the pitch versus Lommel United in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.
The fixture before that was the Belgian Cup-battle against Kortrijk, a home defeat (1-3). RWDM are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats. From a total of 4 matches.
RWDM are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 10 times in 6 away games so far. RWDM have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
