- Westerlo are yet to win away in the Pro League 2026-2027, but their away game has seen 2.00 goals scored and 3.00 conceded.
- Lommel have lost their only home league game this season, failing to score in that match.
Westerlo want their first road victory
KVC Westerlo arrive at Soevereinstadion, Belgium as 2.95 underdogs against Lommel on Sunday afternoon and with the basement battle well underway in the Pro League 2026-2027, they're in desperate need of three points.
Our Lommel vs KVC Westerlo preview suggests that this could be a tense and tightly fought contest between two sides still looking to settle into the season.
De Kemphanen currently sit 16th in the table with 0 points from their first two matches, already in danger of falling behind in the fight for survival in Belgium's top tier. Issame Charai has been in charge of the team since 1st July 2025, and his trademark high-tempo, aggressive pressing game is designed to force mistakes and get men behind the lines at pace.
Cameron Congreve has been a shrewd addition to the team this season, with the Australian providing a creative spark and a bit of a threading skill to the side's attacks with one assist in one Pro League 2026/2027 game. However, Lommel have their own reliable forward in the shape of Ralf Seuntjens, who has scored one goal in two Pro League 2026/2027 matches and provides the most reliable finishing option in Lommel's line up.
Lommel are marginal favourites
Lommel currently sit 13th in the Pro League 2026-2027 table with one point from their opening two matches, but they are clearly in a battle to settle into life in the top-tier following promotion. Lee Johnson has been in charge of the side since 1st July 2025, and his side are still a structured build-up team at heart, relying on shape, patience and selective transitions. The odds for Sunday's game, with Lommel at 2.35, Westerlo at 2.95 and the draw at 3.25 make Lommel marginal favourites, but we feel that the home side should just edge this one by a slim margin in what is likely to be a low-margin game. The home crowd isn't a fortress for Lommel yet, as they have won just once and lost twice in their home matches this term, so we'll take Lommel to edge this. This Lommel vs KVC Westerlo prediction is based on the hosts having a slight advantage in cohesion and home familiarity.
Goals should be on the cards
Over 2.5 goals looks a very good price at 1.8 for a game that will have plenty of openings, but BTTS-Yes at 1.62 also appeals to us. Lommel and Westerlo are very different sides, but that contrast could work to create an interesting dynamic with Lommel looking to carve out space behind the opposition defence, while Westerlo are likely to press high and force the play at pace.
Westerlo to win at 2.95 looks like a great price for a side in need of a road win, but we're going with the hosts to edge a tricky contest at the Soevereinstadion. Our Lommel vs KVC Westerlo betting tips lean toward goals and a narrow home win.
Lommel vs KVC Westerlo prediction: a close match with both teams likely to create chances.
