Waasland-Beveren form and stats

Waasland-Beveren's struggle is real here at Freethielstadion with only 11 points collected from 11 Pro League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-2-6. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Waasland-Beveren after consecutive victories at their own ground.

The Waasland-Beveren goalkeeper Lucas Pirard is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 235 minutes without conceding a goal in the Pro League.

Waasland-Beveren enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at KV Oostende's place. The match ended 1-0 with S. Milošević scoring. Ahead of that match, Waasland-Beveren won a home game hosting Standard Liège (2-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Waasland-Beveren perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Waasland-Beveren as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Waasland-Beveren has won 3 of these, drawn 4 and lost 5.

The Waasland-Beveren fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 11 matches. Waasland-Beveren have conceded 24 goals in these home games, a significant number.

AS Eupen form and stats

AS Eupen have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Pro League, after 3-1-7 (11 played). A depressing four defeats in a row for AS Eupen in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Kortrijk.

There were no winners in AS Eupen's previous match, a Pro League home game that ended 1-1 vs Sporting Charleroi (placed 4th). Prior to that match, the AS Eupen manager B. San José Gil faced defeat when travelling to Genk and losing 1-2.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with AS Eupen playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were 2 AS Eupen wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting AS Eupen as they have only managed to score 9 times from 11 away games in the league. AS Eupen have conceded 20 goals in these games.
