An important duel in the bottom section of the Pro League, with both Waasland-Beveren and Royal Excel Mouscron experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 18th place.
- All of Waasland-Beveren's matches have had more than 1,5 goals.
- Royal Excel Mouscron has the fewest scored goals (9) in Pro League
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Waasland-Beveren and Royal Excel Mouscron.
Waasland-Beveren form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Pro League this season. Waasland-Beveren have only managed 1 win, 1 draw and 5 losses from their games here at Freethielstadion.
A strong away win for Waasland-Beveren against Sporting Charleroi the last match, as Aboubakary Koita (2) were on target. Nobody expected Waasland-Beveren to beat Sporting Charleroi in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Sint-Truiden the opponent.
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 three of these, drawn three and lost four.
The Waasland-Beveren fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. Waasland-Beveren have conceded 16 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Royal Excel Mouscron form and stats
Royal Excel Mouscron, who have the fewest scored goals (9) in Pro League, have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Pro League, after 1-2-3 (6 played).
Mouscron are travelling after their nice 3-2 home win in the Pro League against Sint-Truiden (placed 17th). A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Club Brugge.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager F. Da Cruz when Imad Faraj scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 79th minute.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Royal Excel Mouscron in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Mouscron, three draws and two defeats.
