Thanks to a 2-1 victory over RVD Molenbeek in the cup match, Westerlo made up for the previous failures in the eyes of the fans. In the last nine matches in the High League, the home team has won one and only one victory. Right now, Westerlo is located on the eighth line in the table, inferior even to their current opponent.
Dender is indeed ahead of the home team in the table, but only by one point. In the last cup match, the guests lost against Waregem with the score 1:2. Now the newcomer to the top division needs to focus all their attention on the performance in the domestic league.
