It's early days in the First Division B and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Lokeren form and stats
Lokeren are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two First Division B games here at Daknamstadion. Game days at Daknamstadion have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Lokeren as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Lokeren drew their last game, 1-1 away at Union Saint-Gilloise (placed 2nd). Preceding that match was the home game against SV Roeselare that was lost 1-3.
Lokeren has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 4 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Westerlo form and stats
Westerlo are still undefeated on their travels in the First Division B. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.
K. Abrahams was the last player to score for the away team. Westerlo haven't scored a league goal in the last 225 minutes.
The manager B. Peeters was unhappy after their last game, a First Division B match played at their home ground Het Kuipje. Westerlo suffered a 0-1 loss to Beerschot-Wilrijk (placed 1st). A loss against Union Saint-Gilloise was the result prior to that, in a home game.
It's early days yet, but Westerlo has scored 6 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
The most recent history between these sides is the Westerlo - Lokeren 2-0 played earlier this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Lokeren 4 wins, 3 draws and Westerlo 3 victories.
