Fixture Analysis

K. Lierse S.K. welcome Lokeren-Temse to Herman Vanderpoortenstadion in Challenger Pro League (matchday 34). Kick-off is Friday 17 April 2026 at 20:00 UK time.

Recent Form

Across their last 10 games, K. Lierse S.K. have gone 4W 1D 5L — a 1.30 PPG return. Last five: W L D L W. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 1.40 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

At home, K. Lierse S.K. have gone 3W 2D 5L in their last 10 home games (1.10 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.20 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.

Looking at their last 10 matches, Lokeren-Temse stand at 3W 3D 4L — 1.20 PPG. Last five: L W W D D. They are scoring at 1.90 per game and conceding 1.70. Both teams have scored in 90% of their matches — a high rate that makes Yes a well-evidenced angle from their form.

On the road, Lokeren-Temse have gone 5W 3D 2L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.80 PPG). Away from home they average 1.60 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 1.80 exceeds their overall 1.20 — they actually perform better on the road than their aggregate form implies.

The form comparison is too close to call — 1.30 PPG (K. Lierse S.K.) versus 1.20 (Lokeren-Temse). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.

The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Both teams have scored in 60% of K. Lierse S.K.'s games and 80% of Lokeren-Temse's (from K. Lierse S.K.'s last 10 home games and Lokeren-Temse's last 10 away games) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.

H2H Record

The H2H picture is flat: the 3 H2H matches we hold have produced 0 wins for K. Lierse S.K., 1 for Lokeren-Temse and 2 draws. Form and model data should carry more weight here. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 3 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.7 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 12 Sep 2025, ended K. Lierse S.K. 0–2 Lokeren-Temse — a Lokeren-Temse win.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

In-Play Data

K. Lierse S.K. trading profile (last 60 games, 29 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 69% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; of the 24 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 25%; BTTS occurs in 48% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 55% of games (home games); they fail to score in 30% of games.

Lokeren-Temse trading profile (last 60 games, 29 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 76% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 77% of the time; of the 20 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 35%; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 48% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — K. Lierse S.K. 50% versus Lokeren-Temse 58%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (K. Lierse S.K. 48% | Lokeren-Temse 48%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: K. Lierse S.K. surrender their half-time lead 25% of the time, while Lokeren-Temse have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 35% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects K. Lierse S.K. 1.06 xG and Lokeren-Temse 1.60 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: K. Lierse S.K. attack 0.790 / defence 1.146 | Lokeren-Temse attack 0.997 / defence 0.971. League average goals — home 1.383 / away 1.397. K. Lierse S.K.'s attack rating of 0.790 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.06. Data: built from K. Lierse S.K.'s last 60 games and Lokeren-Temse's last 60.

Result probabilities: K. Lierse S.K. 25% | Draw 25% | Lokeren-Temse 50%. Fair-value odds: K. Lierse S.K. 3.96 | Draw 4.00 | Lokeren-Temse 2.01. Lokeren-Temse hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS Yes probability 52% | Total xG 2.66. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.66 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 52% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Lokeren-Temse at 50% — moderate model lean. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Lokeren-Temse offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

The Poisson model projects 2.66 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 50% — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 52% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: K. Lierse S.K. 60% (last 10 home games) | Lokeren-Temse 80% (last 10 away games).
