Beerschot-Wilrijk form and stats

The visitors, who have the most conceded goals (28) away in Pro League, are W5-D1-L7 on the road this term. That's in the Pro League. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Beerschot-Wilrijk, as they have won on their previous two travels.

Beerschot-Wilrijk's previous game was their home loss versus Mechelen (1-2). A 0-1 loss hosting Mechelen before that.

Late heartbreak for Beerschot-Wilrijk in the Mechelen match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Beerschot-Wilrijk when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing three times, drawing zero and winning zero games.

Beerschot-Wilrijk has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 21 goals from 13 games. The Beerschot-Wilrijk manager W. Still has some worries about the defense as 28 goals have been conceded in these travels. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
