Excelsior Virton vs Dender
Excelsior Virton come into this one in good shape, having won three of their last five games, with one draw and just one loss. Dender have been up and down, losing three of their last five, so they're the side that looks a little more shaky right now. Their most recent meeting was a tight one, and games between these two have often been close, though some of the earlier ones did produce a fair few goals.
This looks like a close match overall, with Virton holding the slight edge thanks to their stronger recent form. Given how these two have matched up and Dender's struggles of late, a draw is certainly possible, but I'd lean toward Excelsior Virton coming out on top.
