Lierse Kempenzonen supporters expect points in home match versus Excelsior Virton

The visiting Excelsior Virton played their last game only four days ago, a Belgian Cup match. That game, against Londerzeel, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Excelsior Virton.

Lierse Kempenzonen form and stats

The previous season, Lierse Kempenzonen's league statistics were 4 wins, 4 draws and 20 losses, providing 7th spot in the First Division B. From these 28 matches they scored 25 goals and conceded 55. Appearing as the home team in the former season Lierse Kempenzonen produced 3-2-9 (win-draw-lost) with 17 goals and 28 conceded.

Kempenzonen are returning here after visiting Thes Sport in a Belgian Cup game and winning with a 6-2 scoreline. As mentioned above, Kempenzonen "killed" Thes Sport in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

1-1 away at Deinze before that.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Kempenzonen matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, zero draws and zero defeats (from one game).

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Belgian Cup game versus RFC Wetteren in only three days. This game is also played here at Herman Vanderpoortenstadion.

Excelsior Virton form and stats

Let's have a look at how Excelsior Virton performed last season in the Division 3: ACFF: They landed a 17th position in the league table after playing out 0 victories, 0 draws and 4 defeats. In total they scored 0 and conceded 20 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 0 - drew 0 and lost 2 with 0/10 goals scored/conceded. It's a growing despair in Excelsior as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Excelsior Virton, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Londerzeel.

A 0-2 loss hosting Westerlo before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Excelsior Virton playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and three home wins.

Head 2 Head

As for the last four games between these two teams, there's one Kempenzonen victory, zero draws and three Excelsior Virton wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, one match with two goals or less.
