REF’s picks

KVC Westerlo enter this fixture in formidable scoring form and should have enough firepower to overcome SK Beveren at home. The hosts have netted seventeen times across their last five matches, highlighting an attack that will test a visiting backline missing key defensive figures like Laurent Jans. However, Westerlo's defensive vulnerabilities mean Beveren could find openings on the counter, preventing a completely straightforward afternoon.

1. 1Westerlo's explosive recent form includes 17 goals in 5 games, led by a relentless home attacking unit.
2. 2SK Beveren travel without injured defenders Laurent Jans and Viktor Boone, significantly weakening their defensive structure.
3. 3Westerlo have shown occasional defensive lapses, conceding 5 goals in their last two outings alone, which gives Beveren a realistic route back into the match.
