Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Waasland-Beveren with their five defeats in a row. Not since the KV Oostende game, 41 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Waasland-Beveren, their manager A. Mercier and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
