I'm backing Westerlo to win this 3-1 on 24 October 2026 at 21:45. The hosts are in a different class right now. They've won five of their last ten, thrashed Antwerp 5-1 in their most recent league match, and rested key players in a 2-0 Belgian Cup win over Patro Eisden. I see them as the clear favourite here.
Beveren arrive broken. They've lost four straight away games and scored just 0.25 goals per match on the road. I've watched their defensive numbers collapse too—they're conceding 2.75 goals per away outing. Missing Boone, Jans, Keller, Kuavita and Abrahams makes this worse. Westerlo will punish them.
Form and H2H
I'm looking at Westerlo's home record and it's dominant. They average 2.31 goals for and 1.89 against across their last ten at home. The profit trend on their match winner sits at 3.4, which tells me the market has underestimated them repeatedly. I back that signal.
Beveren's away form is a disaster. I see five losses in ten road games, averaging just 1.20 goals for and 1.40 against. Their match winner profit trend is barely positive at 0.06. Head-to-head favours Westerlo too—they've won three of the last six meetings, including back-to-back 1-0 victories in 2016 and a 4-3 win in 2019. I'm confident in the direction of this match.
Best bet
I'm taking Westerlo 3-1 as my main play. The scoreline reflects what I expect: Westerlo's attacking threat, Beveren's defensive fragility, and the gap in quality. I'll also couple Westerlo to win with Over 2.5 goals because I see at least three goals here, possibly four.
I'm not seeing 1xBet prices listed for this match, so I can't quote exact odds. When they're available, I'll be looking for Westerlo win, Over 2.5 goals, and Westerlo over 1.5 team goals as my core selections. The correct score 3-1 is the sharpest play if the odds justify it.
Odds to watch
I'm waiting for 1xBet to release their full card on this match. Once they do, I'll be monitoring the 1X2 line closely—Westerlo should be short favourites given Beveren's injury crisis and away form. I expect the home win to be somewhere in the 1.5 to 1.7 range.
I'll also track Over 2.5 goals carefully. Westerlo average 2.80 at home and Beveren concede 2.75 away, so I'm confident the total clears 2.5. Both Teams to Score appeals too because Beveren have shown they can score even in defeat, and Westerlo's defence has been leaky. I'll have my stakes ready once the odds drop.
