An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 11th place.

Waasland-Beveren form and stats

Waasland-Beveren, who have the fewest scored goals (5) in Pro League, have played 4 Pro League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). The last three games played by Waasland-Beveren, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

The home team returns to Freethielstadion after sharing the points with Anderlecht (placed 13th) on their last time out; the Pro League game ended 0-0. Ahead of that match, Waasland-Beveren lost 3-4 at home to Westerlo.

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 ten games. Waasland-Beveren has won 2 of these, drawn 3 and lost 5.

Waasland-Beveren has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 4 games. As for conceded goals, Waasland-Beveren's unpleasant statistic is 12 goals surrendered. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as Waasland-Beveren have let the opposition score 12 times, an average of more than three per game.
