Westerlo (home)
- Westerlo have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five First Division A 2025-2026 games.
- Westerlo’s most recent two results, a 1-1 away draw to KV Mechelen and a 1-0 away win over Zulte-Waregem, suggest an upturn in form may be forthcoming for them.
Sint-Truidense (away)
- Sint-Truidense have won four and lost one of their last five First Division A 2025-2026 matches.
- Sint-Truidense are flying high in second place in the First Division A 2025/2026 table after picking up 45 points from their first 23 games, while KVC Westerlo are in 11th with 28 points from the same number of matches.
Head-to-Head
But three points could be on the line in this Friday’s head-to-head game between these two clubs, a contest which Sint-Truiden have dominated in recent years with four wins and one loss in their favour in the last five.
Key Players
- Nacho Ferri has been in hot form for KVC Westerlo of late, scoring seven league goals and both of his team’s goals in their last five.
- Keisuke Goto has scored eight goals in 21 First Division A 2025-2026 appearances for K. Sint-Truidense and has scored two of his side’s last six, but the Japanese marksman’s knack of getting the big goals could be key to the visitors’ success in this kind of game where both will be looking to make a statement.
Betting Insights
- Westerlo’s last head-to-head victory was a statement 3-0 success on the road four months ago, but the bookmakers have both sides priced as closely as possible at 2.55 ahead of this meeting at Het Kuipje while the draw is a touch less likely at 3.55.
- Backing over 2.5 goals in this game, which is priced at 1.57, seems like a good way to play a contest that should feature plenty of attacking intent and defensive lapses on both sides.
Prediction
Vrancken’s side have won back-to-back away games and are undefeated in their last two away games.
