Westerlo vs Dender prediction 02.05.2025 | Jupiler Pro League

• Competition: Jupiler Pro League
• Date: Friday, 2nd May 2025
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Het Kuipje (Westerlo)

With four rounds left to be played, Charleroi have the highest chances for the Conference League playoff, but all other teams have some chances to retake the desired spot. Westerlo are four points behind the group leader, while Dender trails two points more than their next opponent. 

Westerlo are not in perfect form lately. They won only one of the last six matches. Last weekend, the team from Het Kuipje played 2-2 at home against KV Mechelen. The home side deserved much more in that game as they finished with xG of 3.36, while the guests had only 1.96. Although Westerlo had much better chances, they needed to score late in the second half's stoppage time to avoid finishing empty-handed. 

Dender are a new team in the Jupiler Pro League, and they are surely very satisfied with avoiding any relegation problems this season. Dender surely wants more, but realistically, they had a phenomenal year. However, the last few weeks were far from good as they won only one of the last five matches. In the previous game, Dender lost 4-1 on the road against Charleroi. The home side completely outplayed the guests, so Dender will have to look for points elsewhere. 

Westerlo vs Dender pick: Over 2.5 goals

Both teams' games have been scoring high lately, as four of their previous five respective matches finished with three or more goals. We should expect another high-scoring game on Friday in Westerlo.
