Westerlo host Sporting Charleroi at Het Kuipje on Saturday 7 November, kick-off 15:00 UK, in the Belgian Pro League. Westerlo have scored plenty and conceded just as much, while Charleroi have won eight of their ten and sit 4th.
Westerlo are 8th on 14 points, with 25 scored and 25 conceded in ten games. Sporting Charleroi have 24 points, 21 scored and 12 conceded, and we make them the most likely winners at 41%.
Westerlo score the 3rd most goals per game in the division at 2.5, but they also concede the most, 2.5 a game, and both teams have scored in 70% of their matches, the highest rate in the league. Nine in ten of their games have gone over 2.5 goals, again the highest. Their shots on target average of 5.5 is the 4th most.
The latest run is mixed. Four straight wins in September and October were followed by a 4-4 draw with SK Beveren on 24 October and then a 4-1 defeat at Anderlecht on 31 October. Those four wins included a 5-1 win over Antwerp and a 2-0 win at Sint-Truiden.
Charleroi have lost only twice all season and have not drawn once, which puts them 4th in the Belgian Pro League table. Their defence is the sturdier of the two: the 6th fewest goals conceded at 1.2 a game, and a clean sheet in 40% of matches, the 4th highest rate. Up front they average 2.1 goals, the 4th most, and their shots on target figure of 5.8 is the 3rd most in the league.
They come in off a 5-2 home win over La Louvière, after a 3-0 loss at Antwerp. Before that they won 1-0 at Standard and 3-2 against Club Brugge.
