Westerlo vs. Mons

Westerlo is on a good run . With few valuable wins they climbed from the middle of the table to 6^th place . Important for this ascending trend was their defense which performed remarkable conceding just 2 goals against Anderlecht  in last 5 games . If they can continue like that I am sure Westerlo will occupy a better place at the end of the season which isn’t far away .

Mons is a difficult team to play against . In last 10 games they lost only once against Standard Liege away , leader of the league , undefeated . Good performance from Mons . I could notice they also have good defense . Mons is very close to relegation area and are forced to get some points in last 4 games to avoid relegation .

This game being an important one for away team especially , I expect cautious play from both teams as Mons really needs points . They can’t jump in attack but wait for opponents mistake who will be pushed by public to be offensive .

In last 20 games , Mons has 12 games Under 2.5 goals , Westerlo has 13 games .
