Friday’s football game between Westerlo and Dender will open round 13 of the new Jupiler League campaign. Westerlo defeated RWDM 2-1 in the Belgian Cup last 32 on Wednesday, putting an end to their three-game winless run and, no doubt, the triumph gave them a confidence boost. Costa Rica midfielder Josimar Alcocer limped off with injury in the midweek clash, with Iran international Allahyar Sayyadmanesh likely to step up.

Vincent Euvrard’s troops, on the other hand, will be fully focused on the national championship in the remainder of the season as they suffered a 2-1 loss to Waregem in the Belgian Cup. Given Dender’s difficulties on the travels, we predict that Westerlo are going to pick up all three points from the match. In their last encounter at the venue Westerlo defeated Dender 3-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
