Prediction published on Oct 23, 2026 7:03 AM by Dario in Belgium - Pro League | Modified on Oct 23, 2026 7:03 AM
Westerlo host SK Beveren in the Belgian Pro League on Saturday, October 24, 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 18:45 local time at Het Kuipje. The home side sit sixth, five places above their visitors, and arrive with five consecutive wins across all competitions. Beveren have also enjoyed a cup victory, but two successive league defeats give them a different challenge to address. Westerlo’s recent scoring form makes this a compelling fixture, while Beveren’s record of finding the net regularly leaves room for a competitive contest.
Westerlo have won all five of their latest matches, scoring 17 goals and conceding three across that run. That works out to 3.4 goals scored and 0.6 conceded per game. Their most recent result was a 2-0 win against Patro Eisden Maasmechelen on October 16, extending a sequence that has put them in strong form for Beveren’s visit.
Their Pro League campaign has been less one-sided than those last five results suggest. After eight league matches, Westerlo have four wins, one draw and three defeats, averaging 2.5 goals scored and 2.1 conceded. The attacking average points to their capacity to create high-scoring games, but the goals-against figure also matters when assessing whether they can keep Beveren out.
There has been a consistent pattern of goals in Westerlo’s fixtures. At least two total goals have been scored in each of their last 11 matches and each of their last 11 home matches. In the Pro League specifically, the same threshold has been reached in their last 10 games and last 10 home games. Those figures describe total goals in the matches, rather than goals scored by Westerlo alone.
The timing of those goals is notable too: each of Westerlo’s last 11 matches has featured at least one first-half goal, as have their last 10 Pro League fixtures. Their last 10 matches have also all produced a second-half goal. These trends do not determine what will happen on Saturday, but they provide a clear picture of the kind of games Westerlo have recently played.
SK Beveren beat Habay-la-Neuve 3-0 on October 16, giving them a positive result before this trip. Their last five matches across competitions have brought three wins and two defeats, with averages of 1.8 goals scored and 0.8 conceded. That overall record is encouraging, although their league form offers a more difficult comparison: Beveren have lost their last two Pro League games, most recently by 3-1 at home to Lommel.
Across eight league fixtures, the visitors have recorded three wins, no draws and five defeats. They have averaged 1.0 goal scored and 1.8 conceded per Pro League match. Closing the gap on sixth-placed Westerlo would require them to produce a stronger league performance than their two most recent defeats, even if the win over Habay-la-Neuve offers some encouragement.
Beveren’s broader scoring record remains relevant. They have scored at least once in 37 of their last 40 matches, while 26 of their last 27 matches have ended without a draw. There has also been at least one second-half goal in each of their last 19 away games and in 20 of their last 21 matches overall. Those are match-goal trends, not a claim that Beveren themselves scored after half-time on every occasion.
The contrast between the teams is clearest in their immediate results: Westerlo bring a five-match winning streak, while Beveren’s latest league outings have ended in defeat. The hosts’ 17 goals across those five wins support their attacking case, but their season-long average of 2.1 goals conceded per Pro League game gives the visitors reason to believe they can contribute on the scoresheet.
The most recent head-to-head meeting finished 3-1 on November 1, 2023. Across the supplied head-to-head summary, Westerlo have two wins, one draw and two defeats against SK Beveren, with both sides averaging 1.4 goals scored per meeting. That balanced record offers little basis for treating past meetings alone as decisive.
For this Pro League preview, the central question is whether Westerlo can pair their current scoring rate with a tighter defensive display, or whether Beveren’s regular habit of scoring will make this another game involving goals from both sides. Westerlo’s recent winning run gives them momentum, but Beveren have found the net in most of their last 40 matches. Together with the hosts’ league goals-against average, that makes a goal for each team a coherent reading of the available figures.
