Waasland-Beveren form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first First Division B game of the season here. Last season these fans witnessed 3 wins, 2 draws and 12 losses from Waasland-Beveren's 17 home games. It's been an uphill battle for Waasland-Beveren in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Sporting Charleroi game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

The fans are hoping that Waasland-Beveren will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Belgian Cup game against Dender.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Royal Excel Mouscron and winning 4-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Waasland-Beveren have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won one time, drawn zero and lost two.

Early season league goal statistics from Waasland-Beveren's 1 home game: 0 goals, 2 conceded.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Liege with the score of 3-1.

We have checked recent matches where Westerlo have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were four victories, two draws and one defeat.

It's early days yet, but Westerlo has scored 2 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
