Beerschot

LDLLLL 📉

Beerschot will be hoping for a better result after the 1-0 First Division A defeat in their last game at the hands of Standard Liège.

In that match, Beerschot had 57% possession and 11 shots on goal with 2 on target. On the other side, Standard Liege got 12 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Soufiane Benjdida (72') scored for Standard Liège.

Their more recent scorelines reveal that there is much shakiness in the Beerschot rearguard. Beerschot have managed to let an unacceptable 18 goals go in at the wrong end as far as they are concerned during the period covering their past six clashes.

Going into this one, Beerschot have not won at home in their last 5 matches in the league. Their fans aren't happy.

Dender

DDWWDL

Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Club Brugge in First Division A competition, Dender and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that match, Dender managed 38% possession and 11 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Dender was Nathan Rôdes (45'). Club Brugge got 13 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Gustaf Nilsson (8') and Christos Tzolis (12') scored for Club Brugge.

The numbers tell their own story, and Dender have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 8 goals overall. Defensively, Dender could really do with shoring things up. Such a pattern isn’t assured to follow through into this game, however.

Coming into this fixture, Dender are undefeated in their previous 3 away league matches.

📋 Team News: Beerschot

We are thinking that Beerschot will possibly use the 3-4-2-1 system for the game, beginning the first half with Davor Matijas, A. Konstantopoulos, Herve Matthys, Derick Tshimanga, Simion Michez, Ryan Sanusi, Welat Cagro, Marco Weymans, Ewan Henderson, Thibaud Verlinden and Charly Keita.

📰 Team News: Dender

Dender boss Vincent Euvrard has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Abdoulaye Yahaya (Torn muscle bundle) and Michael Lallemand (Broken ankle) will not be playing here.

We reckon that Dender seem likely to elect for a 3-5-2 lineup using Michael Verrips, Gilles Ruyssen, Kobe Cools, Joedrick Pupe, David Hrncar, Malcolm Viltard, Bruny Nsimba, Nathan Rodes, Fabio Ferraro, Mohamed Berte and Roman Kvet.

💭 Prediction

In our opinion, Beerschot will need to apply a lot of pressure to score goals against this Dender lineup who will likely end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

We therefore fancy a highly competitive game with a 0-1 win for Dender after 90 minutes.

Should be interesting.
