Oostende, Recent FormA 4-4 draw and a point gained against Eupen in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Oostende last time out. They came away from that fixture with 33% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 9 on target. By comparison, Eupen managed 29 attempts on goal, with 10 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 10 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have been misfiring up front at home recently, having been unable to produce a goal in 3 of their last 6 matches. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 26 of their 29 league games.
They've had a terrible run of form at Diaz Arena recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win. They've shown terrible form at Diaz Arena this season, losing 8 of their 14 home league games.
Westerlo, Recent FormWesterlo will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-1 home win against Kortrijk. In that game they recorded 47 % of the possession, with 9 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 6 of their 17 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away games. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.
Goalscorer Maxim De Cuyper will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Westerlo.
Oostende will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Westerlo, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 6-0 defeat.
Away from home, De Kempeneers have shipped at least one goal to Oostende in each of their previous 4 league matches against them. We have seen plenty of goals from De Kustboys when they play at home against Westerlo. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 11 goals, which is an average of 3.67 goals per game.
In the league, Oostende has a good track record when they host Westerlo, getting the better of them in their last 3 home games.
With only David Atanga (Knee) and Maxime D'Arpino (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Dominik Thalhammer will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Jonas De Roeck has a number of injury concerns in his Westerlo squad to contend with: Ján Bernát (Cruciate ligament), Erdon Daci (Cruciate ligament) and Lucas Mineiro (Meniscus)
