Season ticket holders at Het Kuipje haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Westerlo languishing in the 6th position so far. The guesting Deinze will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Westerlo form and stats
The story so far in the First Division B for Westerlo, who have the fewest scored goals (4) at home in First Division B, at their home stadium (Het Kuipje) is 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
Westerlo drew their last game, 1-1 away at Club Brugge II (placed 8th). Before that, Westerlo had a home game versus RWDM which ended with a victory 3-0.
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 Westerlo have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost one.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Westerlo, as the First Division B home game vs RFC Seraing is only four days away.
Westerlo are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. 4 goals have been conceded.
Deinze form and stats
The visitors are W1-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the First Division B.
Deinze are travelling after their nice 3-0 home win in the First Division B against RFC Seraing (placed 2nd). Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Union Saint-Gilloise's place.
It was a convincing performance from Deinze when RFC Seraing were beaten. The team "killed" the match in the first half leading 3-0 and the second half was comfortable. A. Staelens, Y. Challouk and B. Dansoko scored their goals.
Deinze are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, one draw and two defeats. From a total of three matches.
A quick return to home after this game, as Deinze are hosting Lommel United in the First Division B only three days away.
Deinze find the net regularly in their away games. 5 goals from 4 away fixtures in the league. Deinze have conceded 8 goals in these games.
