Waasland-Beveren form and stats

Playing away, Waasland-Beveren, who have the most conceded goals (69) in Pro League, have won 4 games, drawn 5 and suffered 7 defeats in the Pro League this season.

Waasland-Beveren failed to get anything from their last game, a Pro League home match vs Kortrijk (placed 14th) that ended with defeat 3-4. A loss against Sint-Truiden was the result prior to that, in a home game.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Kortrijk was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? Imagine losing a game despite one player scoring three goals? That's the story of Michael Frey in the match against Kortrijk. Late heartbreak for Waasland-Beveren in the Kortrijk match, as the deciding 3-4 goal came deep into overtime.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Waasland-Beveren playing away, we found six games. Results were zero away wins, three draws and three home wins.

Waasland-Beveren are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 21 away goals from 16 games (in the league). In the opposite end, Waasland-Beveren have conceded 29 goals in their away games.
