The market leans towards Francs Borains at home, but the data indicates a narrow, low-scoring contest with an outsized chance that the visitors fail to score.</p> <h3>Form and momentum</h3> <p>Francs Borains have been inconsistent (L-L-L-D-W over their last five), yet their better performances have come at home, including a controlled 2-0 against Patro Eisden and a gritty 0-0 versus Lommel. Seraing arrive following back-to-back defeats (0-5 at RWDM, 0-2 vs Jong Gent) and have not scored in either. While some media chatter has highlighted a more prolific recent Seraing attack, the hard split is clear: away from home they have yet to find the net this season.</p> <h3>Venue splits and defensive patterns</h3> <p>The defining angle is the venue. Francs Borains at home: 1.33 PPG, 0.67 GF, 1.00 GA, and a 67% clean-sheet rate. Seraing away: 0.33 PPG, 0.00 GF, 2.33 GA, and a 100% “failed to score” rate. These splits are stark and trump broader narratives. Add that Francs defend leads well at home (lead-defending rate 100%), while Seraing have never led away this season, and you have an immediate template for how this game could play out: Borains suffocating a limited away attack, probing for a breakthrough of their own.</p> <h3>Goal timing: late lean</h3> <p>Both teams skew towards second-half action. Francs have scored 75% of their goals after halftime (average goal time 69’), and Seraing’s four goals this season have all arrived in second periods (average 67’). Even in a low-scoring match, that timing bias nudges the “Highest Scoring Half – 2nd” market into value territory at even money.</p> <h3>Tactical and player notes</h3> <p>Francs Borains rely on a physically robust, experienced back line with Sébastien Dewaest and Dorian Dessoleil in front of Yannick Pandor. Maxime Bastian has been a reliable presence down the flank. In attack, they lack a standout scorer but are functional from structured phases and set plays—suited to 1-0/2-0 home wins.</p> <p>Seraing’s defensive core features Kevin Bukusu and Hady Camara, with Noah Solheid an occasional threat on set pieces. However, the visiting front line has yet to translate home promise into away productivity. Midfield duels will be tight, but without a proven away finisher, Seraing may be forced to bank on counters and restarts.</p> <h3>Market view and best bets</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Seraing No Goal (2.62):</strong> Their away FTS rate is 100% across three matches. With Francs posting 67% home clean sheets, this is the data-led standout.</li> <li><strong>Under 2.5 Goals (2.10):</strong> Francs’ home matches average 1.67 total goals; Seraing’s away games include two unders from three. The profiles align with 1-0/2-0/1-1.</li> <li><strong>Highest Scoring Half – 2nd (2.00):</strong> Both teams’ goals predominantly arrive after halftime; even a 1-0 second half beats a 0-0 first half.</li> <li><strong>Francs Win to Nil (3.20):</strong> Correlated angle for smaller stakes. If Seraing don’t score, the most likely outcomes are 1-0 or 2-0 Borains.</li> </ul> <h3>Context and caveats</h3> <p>It’s still early-season with small samples (six matches each), and both sides are on a three-day turnaround from the weekend. Weather should be mild with little rain—conditions friendly for neat, low-risk football. While some sentiment hints Seraing can explode offensively, the away data demands respect: zero away goals speaks loudly.</p> <h3>Prediction</h3> <p>A tight, territorial game with Francs Borains’ rearguard controlling Seraing’s sporadic counters. One goal might settle it.</p> <p><strong>Call:</strong> Francs Borains 1–0 Seraing.</p> </body> </html>
