Westerlo boast dangerous forwards Matija Frigan (9 goals) and Luka Vuskovic (7 goals). Dender counter with Aurélien Scheidler and Bruny Nsimba (6 goals each), supported by Mohamed Berte (5 goals).
Home/Away Form

- Dender: 7W-5D-3L at home
- Westerlo: 4W-7D-9L away
Recent Six-Game Form
Dender have struggled with just 1 win in 6 matches (1D-4L). Westerlo arrive in better shape (3W-2D-1L), including back-to-back victories.
Tactical Considerations
Westerlo’s superior firepower makes them favorites, but Dender’s home advantage could prove decisive. The hosts must improve defensively after conceding 11 goals in their last 5 matches.
Playoff Implications
With playoff positions still up for grabs, this match carries significant weight. Westerlo need points to maintain momentum, while Dender seek to reignite their campaign.
Key Statistics

The 16:00 kickoff promises an intriguing battle between Dender’s home resilience and Westerlo’s attacking quality. While form favors the visitors, playoff football often produces surprises.
