Our Prediction for Westerlo vs Dender
"De Kemphanen" were promoted to the top division in 2022 and have held their own since. They finished in 11th place last season, which, while modest, was enough to secure their spot in the league. Dender, meanwhile, was promoted after finishing second in the lower division and has performed admirably at this new level.

Although they suffered three losses in four matches, they managed a key 2-1 victory against Beerschot and then went on an unbeaten streak that ended with a 2-5 loss to Mechelen and an early cup exit to Zulte Waregem.
Westerlo began with three consecutive wins, followed by another against Standard, although the rest of their matches have mostly been draws. They recently defeated Molenbeek, but suffered losses to Club Brugge and Sint-Truiden.
Currently, "De Kemphanen" average 1.9 goals scored and 1.8 conceded. Meanwhile, Dender plays a more pragmatic style, conceding an average of 1.36 goals and scoring 1.27.
