Where it pulls both ways. Westerlo are the form side, but the head-to-head favours Antwerp. In the last ten meetings Westerlo won two, Antwerp won six and two were drawn.
The read. No side to back. An open game. Form and the meetings point different ways, so I back neither side. Their goals for and against point to an open game. Their records put over 2.5 goals at 61%. Seven of the last ten meetings went over 2.5.
The bets. Best bet: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.16, 78% on the records (KVC Westerlo: over 1.5 goals in 9 of 10; Royal Antwerp FC: over 1.5 goals in 3 of 5 away). Backup: 2nd Half - Over/Under: Over 0.5 at 1.16. It often rescues the bet, but it is no guarantee. Leave: KVC Westerlo or Over 2.5 Goals (no result call); Royal Antwerp FC or Over 2.5 Goals (no result call); Under 4.5 Goals (no unders on an open read). Predicted score: KVC Westerlo 2-1 Royal Antwerp FC (10% chance).
Every score's chance from both teams' checked games, never cut or rescaled. The lit square is the likeliest score that fits the read (an open game).
