KV Oostende form and stats

KV Oostende, who have the the worst goal difference (-16) in Pro League, have collected 10 points from their Pro League home games so far after 3-1-4. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Oostende with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Cercle Brugge game, 49 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

No payout for Oostende in their previous match, an away game at Kortrijk that ended in defeat 0-1.

A Pro League defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Antwerp.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Oostende have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites).

The Oostende fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 8 matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Oostende have allowed the opposition to score 20 goals here at DIaz Arena. It's worth mentioning that 12 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

AS Eupen form and stats

Playing away, AS Eupen have won 4 games, drawn 1 and suffered 3 defeats in the Pro League this season. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on S. Krämer, the Eupen manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Eupen won their last game, 3-2 versus Zulte-Waregem (after extra-time) played at home. An amazing comeback from Eupen last time out, trailing 0-2 before rallying an inspired fight which eventually led to S. Prevljak scoring the winning goal in the 94th minute. S. Prevljak certainly enjoyed Eupen's last game versus Zulte-Waregem (after extra-time), appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 3-2 victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager S. Krämer when S. Prevljak scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 65th minute.

A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Kortrijk in the Pro League.
