View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest signal points to a draw at half-time and a Waasland-Beveren win at full-time: the hosts were level at the break in 67% of their last five matches and did not trail at half-time on any occasion. In their only home match so far, they kept a clean sheet before the break and scored an average of 2 goals after half-time, winning the second halves.
