Team analysis: Westerlo
The home side enters this second round following a defeat in their opener against Anderlecht (5-2). In their last 10 home fixtures, Westerlo has registered 4 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses. Defensive stability has proven challenging, having conceded goals in 8 of those 10 games. However, their attack has been fairly consistent, scoring in 9 of the last 10 matches. In their home fixtures, there is a notable trend for goals; 22 of the last 23 games concluded with more than 1.5 goals, and 18 of those 23 saw over 2.5 goals scored. In 15 encounters, they have only managed to turn the score around in 2 of the 8 games where they conceded first.
Despite expectations of a hostile atmosphere, the debut highlighted numerous difficulties for Westerlo, leading to the current pressure to respond. They must now contend with an increasing demand for a positive performance at home. Adopting an offensive strategy could be key to overcoming ZW.
Team analysis: ZW
The visiting side approaches this second round following a draw in their league opener against Mechelen (1-1). In their last 10 matches across all competitions, ZW has achieved 4 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses. They have conceded goals in 8 of those outings, indicating a need for defensive improvements. Their away games show a propensity for goals, with 13 out of 19 resulting in more than 2.5 goals. In 15 matches, they have only managed to reverse the score in 1 of the 4 games where they fell behind first.
In front of their own fans during the debut, ZW was unable to assert dominance and convert scoring chances into victory. They must elevate their performance, particularly offensively, if they wish to contend for three points in this away match against a Westerlo side looking to bounce back following their 5-2 defeat.
