SK Beveren host Lommel SK on October 9 in the opening match of Pro League matchday eight. Kick-off is scheduled for 18:45 at Freethiel-Stadion. Beveren are 10th, two places above Lommel, and return to league action after a 1-0 defeat to KV Kortrijk before the break. Their visitors arrive with a Belgian Cup win behind them, but their recent league results present a different picture: two defeats and a draw in their last three Pro League matches, without a goal in that stretch. Beveren’s long run of home victories makes this a particularly demanding trip for Lommel, while the hosts must show they can reproduce that form after an uneven start to the season.

SK Beveren’s Recent Form and Home Record

SK Beveren lost 1-0 away to KV Kortrijk on September 20, leaving them with two wins and three defeats from their last five matches. Across those five games, they have averaged 1.0 goal scored and 1.8 conceded. Their Pro League record stands at three wins and four losses, with no draws; over the season, they have averaged 1.0 goal scored and 1.6 conceded per game. Those figures explain why Tim Bakens’ side have reason to seek a response, rather than relying on their position above Lommel.

At home, however, the evidence is much more encouraging for Beveren. They have won their last 12 home matches, scored at least once in each of their last 20 home games and avoided defeat in 19 of those 20 fixtures. Their matches at home have seldom ended level, with no draw in 19 of the last 20. That record gives the hosts a clear source of confidence as they try to put the Kortrijk result behind them.

There is also a notable contrast between Beveren’s broader results and their reliability in front of goal. They have scored in 37 of their last 40 matches, even though their recent five-game average is only one goal per fixture. In 37 of those 40 matches, at least one goal has been scored by either side in the second half. For this preview, the central question is whether Beveren can turn their consistent home scoring into another victory while limiting the goals conceded that have marked their recent results.

Lommel SK’s Recent Form and Away Challenge

Lommel SK beat Diksmuide 2-0 on September 26 in the Belgian Cup. That result provides a welcome change from their preceding league run, but it does not erase a sequence of three Pro League matches without a goal: two losses and one draw. Lee Johnson’s side had recorded two wins in late August, so finding their way back to that earlier level is an immediate challenge.

Looking across their last five matches, Lommel have two wins, one draw and two defeats. They have averaged 0.6 goals scored and 1.2 conceded in that period. Their Pro League record is two wins, two draws and three losses, with season averages of 0.9 goals scored and 1.1 conceded per match. These figures make their attacking response especially important against a Beveren team that has scored in every one of its last 20 home outings.

Lommel’s away matches also offer a reason to keep watching beyond the interval: at least one goal has been scored by either team in the second half in 18 of their last 20 away fixtures. That statistic does not say which side scored, but it suggests that recent trips have rarely remained unchanged after half-time. For Lommel, the priority is more specific. Their cup victory showed they could get on the scoresheet, while their three-match league drought remains the issue they must address here.

SK Beveren vs Lommel SK Match Analysis

The comparison points toward an intriguing test of Beveren’s home strength against Lommel’s need to recover their league scoring form. The hosts’ 12 consecutive home wins are the standout trend, particularly alongside their run of scoring in 20 straight home matches. Lommel, meanwhile, have not scored in their last three league games, despite winning their most recent cup tie. Beveren’s recent defensive average of 1.8 goals conceded over five matches leaves room for Lommel to respond, but the visitors will need to improve on their latest Pro League attacking displays to make that count.

The most recent head-to-head meeting finished 2-0 to Beveren on February 8, 2026. Across the supplied five-match head-to-head summary, Beveren have three wins, one draw and one defeat against Lommel, averaging 1.8 goals scored and 1.4 conceded. That record supports the case for the hosts without suggesting that every meeting has been one-sided. With Beveren seeking to bounce back from Kortrijk and Lommel looking to carry some momentum from the cup into league play, the home side’s sustained record at Freethiel-Stadion is the strongest distinction between the teams.
