It's still early in the First Division B season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Lierse Kempenzonen - RFC Seraing preview!
The hosts Kempenzonen saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Belgian Cup. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Olympic Charleroi.
Lierse Kempenzonen form and stats
As mentioned below, Lierse Kempenzonen are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 First Division B games. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Kempenzonen, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
Kempenzonen faced defeat in their previous match, away at Olympic Charleroi (1-2). Previous to that game, a First Division B home match hosting Club Brugge II in a game that was won 2-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Kempenzonen perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lierse Kempenzonen as a small favourite), we find two games. Lierse Kempenzonen has won one of these, drawn zero and lost one.
At Herman Vanderpoortenstadion, Lierse Kempenzonen has the goal stats of 6-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
RFC Seraing form and stats
Things could have gone better for RFC Seraing in their First Division B away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Seraing, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-3 versus Union Saint-Gilloise (placed 1st). The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Westerlo.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Seraing playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were three RFC Seraing wins, two draws and three defeats.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, RFC Seraing has managed 7 goals and let in 6 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last four meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Kempenzonen, zero draws and two wins for RFC Seraing. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: zero games.Lierse Kempenzonen missing players
