The Oostende is the third classified of the maximum Belgian category. After 14 disputed days, he is only 5 points behind the leader. In addition, he is one of the best teams when he plays as a local. So far as First Division A has played 7 games in his field, in which he has won 5 and tied 2, so he is still undefeated. In addition, it arrives to this encounter after 6 consecutive parties without losing in First Division A.
This day receives the top of the category, the Westerlo. The Westerlo is not only the last classified, but also is the team more thrashed, receiving an average of 2 goals per game (31 goals conceded in 14 games). If Oostende reaches this match in a good streak of games without losing, Westerlo comes after 5 games without winning and 3 consecutive defeats. Besides, it is one of the worst visitors of the category. In 7 games played away from his stadium, he has won one and tied another, losing the remaining 5.
Taking into account that the Oostende is a strong local team and a team of the strongest of Belgium, with a great regularity in their results, I will go with their victory against the last classified of this first Belgian division. In addition, it is not the first time that these teams are found, these have been the parties in recent years in Oostende camp:

As you can see, in the five Oostende-Westerloo most of the results have been favorable for Oostende. In 5 games, Oostende has won 4 of them, scoring 2 goals or more, with a 4-0 included. The only one in which we would not have the green was in the one of 4 years ago, the first party that they faced in the First Division.
A for the green!
