Westerlo form and stats

Only two First Division B home games for Westerlo so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.

Westerlo are returning here after visiting Waasland-Beveren in a First Division B game and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. J. Bernát and T. Dierckx scored the goal(s).

Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Lierse Kempenzonen.

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 Westerlo have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost one.

Westerlo has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Deinze form and stats

Deinze are still undefeated on their travels in the First Division B. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.

Deinze play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 5-0 victory visiting Lyra-Lierse Berlaar. As mentioned above, Deinze was the only team on the pitch versus Lyra-Lierse Berlaar in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.

That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Royal Excel Mouscron in the First Division B.

We have checked recent matches where Deinze have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those six games were one victory, zero draws and five defeats.

Deinze have the goal stats of 4-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Westerlo three wins, one draw and Deinze zero victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.
