Westerlo form and stats

Three First Division B home games done for Westerlo, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. Three consecutive losses here at Het Kuipje is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

A good away victory last time out for Westerlo, who won 4-0 against Lokeren (placed 8th). Preceding that match was the home game against Beerschot-Wilrijk that was lost 0-1.

As mentioned above, Westerlo "killed" Lokeren in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Westerlo have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. Westerlo are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).
