RWDM form and stats

RWDM have played 4 Pro League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-0-2 (wins-draws-losses).

RWDM experienced a slightly shocking loss 2-3 against Union Saint-Gilloise in their previous game, also a home game. The first defeat after going unbeaten in three league rounds. The defeat against Union Saint-Gilloise was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored six minutes into stoppage time (by Lapoussin). Midfielder Dwomoh was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.54 (out of ten) in that game. Dwomoh scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and had 42 successful passes (of 43 total).

Preceding that game was the away draw at Antwerp that finished 0-0.

The RWDM fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 4 matches.
