Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

SK Beveren v Lommel SK is one to leave alone. The likely outcome is priced too short to be worth taking, and nothing else is sure enough to call.

Preview

Beveren will grind out a result because they are a transformed side when playing at home. Although they sit 10th, they have won three of their last six games. Their defensive structure is a concern, as their opponents have manufactured more quality openings during five of their last seven matches. A suspended goalkeeper further weakens a backline that has managed three clean sheets in six. Lommel struggle to capitalise on their possession. They hit 61 shots recently but found the target only 15 times. Without their experienced target man, they lack a clinical presence to punish Beveren. Tom Reyners has scored three goals in five games, but he cannot carry the attack alone. Beveren’s superior home form will settle this.
