Availability: absences are not recorded for this competition, so none is claimed.

Key players are each side's 3 with the most minutes in Belgian Pro League 2026/27 before this match, counted from each match's player figures; a tie on minutes goes to more goals plus assists, then the name. Goals and assists are summed from the same figures. This is a count, not a judgement of quality, and no rating is used.

Statistical model

How the forecast was reachedlimited

The forecast and every version are in the summary; this section only says why.

Computed by Stadiomind’s statistical model from match data. Not a person’s opinion.

The model gives Westerlo the most probability, 47.9 points ahead of the next outcome. Every outcome remains possible; these are probabilities, not a prediction of the result.

Leading factors

  • Team strength · favours Westerlo · net strength (attack minus defence) from recent results and the Elo prior
  • Attack against defence · favours Westerlo · how the sides' attacks match up against the opposing defences
  • Home advantage · favours Westerlo · league-wide home advantage learned from the training window

What changed between versions

  1. v1 · Early pre-match: first available version.
  2. v2 · Westerlo +9.1, draw -4.1, Beveren -5.0 points (confirmed line-ups).
    3 inputs changed together — history up to (16 Oct 2026 → 23 Oct 2026), matches in the fit (918 → 927), history from (12 Oct 2023 → 19 Oct 2023) — so the move cannot be put down to any one of them. The model does not read line-ups yet, so this version is one computed when the line-up was confirmed, not one computed from it.

Post-match evaluation

Result 4–4: a draw. Version 2 (Confirmed line-ups) gave that outcome 18.4%, not its most probable outcome. Log loss 1.694, Brier 1.129 (lower is better; knowing nothing scores 1.099 and 0.667).

Both numbers measure how much probability the model put on what really happened. Here both are worse than knowing nothing.
