Waasland-Beveren hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 5 points and a 17th position in the Pro League table. Visiting KV Oostende holds 10th place with 16 pts.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Waasland-Beveren form and stats

Waasland-Beveren, who have the the worst goal difference (-15) in Pro League, have only managed 0 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses from their games here at Freethielstadion. All in all it has been a very rough period for Waasland-Beveren who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Kortrijk, 106 days ago. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Waasland-Beveren, their manager N. Hayen and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Waasland-Beveren as they are travelling to their away game against Sint-Truiden in the Pro League. That match is four days after this one.
