Deinze form and stats

Deinze are steadily winning First Division B games and points here at Burgermeester Van De Wiele Stadion. 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 7 games.

A strong away win for Deinze against Lierse Kempenzonen the last match, as A. Staelens, D. De Belder and L. Mertens (2) were on target. Before that, Deinze played out a draw 1-1 when visiting RWDM.

The game against Lierse Kempenzonen had lots of late drama as Deinze came back from being down 0-2 and finally secured the victory through D. De Belder's goal in the 86th minute. A goal frenzy last time out for Deinze, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Lierse Kempenzonen. Fun stuff to watch! World class coaching! That was the thoughts of D. Gevaert when D. De Belder scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 71st minute.

The Deinze fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. From these home matches, Deinze have conceded only 6 goals.
