Dender vs Beerschot VA tips and predictions

Beerschot VA too short for this trip

The data points to the visiting side being too skinny a price in this match-up.

These away players apparently have too many tools in the shed but it might not be as straightforward as that. The hosts have reached 13 home wins from their last 20 games while the travelling side has been patchy. They've lost 10 of their recent 17 matches on the road.

Dender need to focus on the positives to get this done. The home players are finding some form on their own ground. They scored three or more goals in 8 of their recent 20 home matches and that's been backed up throughout the squad. When defending they've conceded no more than once in 14 of their last 18 games.

Away from home Beerschot VA have actually conceded at least once in 16 of their last 17 matches. But this will all be irrelevant if they've had enough time to turn things around in the first third of the pitch for this match. They are the favourites after all.

It's not a very confident prediction and the hosts may feel they've exceeded expectations if they end up in deadlock. It's felt that both sides can score despite the favouritism for Beerschot VA. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting on this occasion.
