Westerlo vs Deinze tips and predictions

Westerlo might not have all the advantages versus Deinze

There's not much between Westerlo and Deinze in the 1B Pro League. The hosts are in first place with 10 points, compared to their opponents who are in second place on 8 points.

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Westerlo has made them a terrible bet. Deinze don't look likely to get the job done but they can certainly ask some questions. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. In their last 7 matches Westerlo have only conceded 0.6 goals, while Deinze have been impressive defensively on the road. They have conceded an average of 0.7 goals per game over their last 3 matches away from home.

The sportsbooks' prices indicate that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Westerlo. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No is slightly more attractive on this occasion. And if you're interested in the goal line, it's Under 2.5 goals in this match considering the current odds.

Westerlo have drawn 8 of their last 17 matches and Deinze have drawn 7 of their last 16 away games. The conclusion is there's nothing to like about the home or away win prices so the draw warrants consideration. A stalemate is on the cards after what could be a close encounter.
