Antwerp - Westerlo betting tips and odds

Antwerp are seen as favourites to win this match against Westerlo. The betting odds indicate an easy win and anything but a home victory here would indeed be a big surprise.

The current perspective makes the situation plain as day. Given the superiority of Antwerp and the 8.00 odds given to Westerlo to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a stunning upset.

Antwerp falling behind in the previous round’s showdown against Anderlecht was not well received by their supporters at the Bosuilstadion, and understandably so. After all, most betting odds gave them a slight edge to win, and they had the home-field advantage on their side. Still, at least they managed to avoid defeat by equalising before the final whistle.

The last time we saw Westerlo in the Pro League they played at home against AS Eupen. They failed to get a clear lead for more than half the game’s runtime, but completely dominated the second half which resulted in the 2:0 score at the end.

With over 5 goals over their past 3 home games, Antwerp is not a team you want to meet at home. They’ll be looking to extend this trend as much as possible, so Westerlo will need to be careful.

Looking over their most recent appearances, Westerlo have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net. The past 3 home games saw them concede over 5 times.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Pro League season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Westerlo. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Saturday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.57 odds offered at William Hill.
