Oostende vs RWDM Prediction & Betting Tips (17 January)

Oostende realistic ambitions of for the Belgian Cup, with a recent record of six wins in seven home matches providing their bid for a place at the Belgian Cup top table with a real boost. Irrespective of which division they have been operating in, RWDM have struggled on their travels of late, suffering an alarming nine defeats in 11 trips.

Oostende have played 16 home games during the current Belgian Cup campaign, with no fewer than 11 of these encounters serving up under 2.5 goals. Not only that, but ten of the last 11 RWDM away matches at this level have also produced no more than a couple of goals, meaning that more of the same is expected when the sides go head-to-head at the Oostende Stadium.

It would be fair to say that Oostende have not been the most exciting team to watch recently, with only three of their last 11 Belgian Cup matches producing goals at both ends. Given that ten of the previous 11 RWDM away games at this level have also seen at least one of the two keepers emerging with a clean sheet, do not expect both teams to find the net.
