Westerlo Team News
A total of 4 matches without a loss in a row helped the Westerlo team to keep their place in the playoff zone, at least temporarily. We have to be realistic and say that their performance at home is the most responsible for that. Westerlo won 17 out of 30 points at its stadium, and perhaps the most interesting fact is that the home team scored as many as 23 goals in 9 games at home. It is currently the best goalscoring performance in the league.
Also, 71 goals were scored in 19 matches of the home team, so Westerlo is the most successful team in the Jupiler League, with an average of 3.7 goals per match. 38 goals scored shows their offensive qualities, but even 33 conceded goals “cast a shadow” on that.
It is clear that Westerlo is a team that plays without too many calculations, and it will be interesting to see if this style of play will lead them to the desired goal. And that’s the playoffs and Europe.
Leuven Team News
The visitors are currently out of the playoff zone, but one or two wins could change that. Leuven currently has 1 point less than eighth-placed St Truiden, so their chances for the playoffs are pretty realistic. What is not in their favor is only 1 win in the last 5 games. It is very interesting because the guests scored as many as 10 goals in the previous 5 duels.
Another negative when it comes to Leuven is their away form. Namely, Leuven is on a streak of 4 matches without a win away from their stadium. In 10 away games, they scored 18 and conceded 16 goals, so one gets the impression that they score and concede goals relatively easily on away courts.
In the last round, they were defeated at home by a goal in the 92nd minute against Kortrijk, so now they have to show a reaction. Given that Westerlo has conceded goals relatively easily this season, Leuven will have a solid chance of getting a positive result on Friday.
