Prediction for Westerlo vs Beerschot
Westerlo, also known as "De Kemphanen", returned to the top division in 2022. Last season, they successfully secured their place in the Pro League, finishing in 11th position. Meanwhile, Beerschot, the "Purple and White Army", recently returned to the top flight after winning the second division. This promotion also marked the start of Dirk Kuyt’s managerial career.
Over the summer, Beerschot lost some key players, including Sekou Diarra and Nzita, but brought in reinforcements like Fayed, Krüger, Kolassen, and Mbe Soh. Despite the signings, their form has been disappointing. Westerlo also saw the departure of several key attackers like Vaesen, Madsen, and Stassen. They signed defender Ortkay and extended Bayram's loan, while also adding midfielder Devine.
Westerlo started the season well, securing three wins, including an impressive 4-3 victory over last year’s runner-up, Royale Union. However, their form took a dip, alternating between losses and draws, with their only recent win coming against Standard Liège. Beerschot started with a goalless draw against Leuven but has since lost every match, including a crushing 0-5 defeat to Antwerp.
