Francs Borains host Dender in Challenger Pro League Round 8 at Stade Robert Urbain on 23 October. The hosts sit fourth with 12 points from six wins and two losses, while Dender occupy second place with 18 points from six wins and just one defeat. This is a clash between a solid mid-table side and one of the league's standout performers so far.
Team form
Francs Borains
Francs Borains have won three of their last five league games but suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat away to K. Lierse S.K. most recently. Before that loss, they beat RSC Anderlecht II 3-2 and Lokeren-Temse 3-0 at home, showing they can score freely on their own ground. Over their last five outings they've managed 7 goals but also conceded 6, suggesting their defence can be vulnerable. In their last outing they managed only 1 shot on goal despite 61% possession, indicating they can struggle to convert dominance into clear-cut chances.
Dender
Dender are in exceptional form. They've won all five of their most recent matches, scoring 13 goals and conceding none—a run that includes a 3-0 home win over Club Brugge II and a 6-0 cup demolition of Hoogstraten. Their league record of 6 wins and 1 loss speaks to their consistency. Defensively they've been outstanding, conceding just 2 goals across the entire season. In their last game they created 5 shots on goal despite holding only 31% possession, showing they're clinical on the break.
Head-to-head
Dender dominate the recent head-to-head record. They won 3-0 away in April 2024, won 2-0 at home in December 2023, and won 3-1 at home in February 2022. The only blemish on their record is a 1-1 draw in December 2021. Francs Borains have not beaten Dender in at least four meetings.
Key factors
Dender's defensive solidity is the standout feature—they've conceded just 0.29 goals per game this season compared to Francs Borains' 1.17. Dender are also averaging 1.57 goals scored per game versus 1.50 for the hosts, so they edge the attacking metrics too. Francs Borains do have the home advantage and can be dangerous in front of their own supporters, but Dender's recent form and superior defensive record make them the tougher proposition. The visitors' ability to win games while controlling possession minimally suggests they're a well-drilled outfit capable of frustrating the hosts.
Prediction
Dender hold a narrow edge in this fixture. They're second in the league for good reason—their record away from home in this head-to-head is perfect, and their current run of form is genuinely impressive. Francs Borains are competitive and can score at home, but Dender's defensive discipline and clinical finishing make them slight favourites. The expected goal balance tilts toward the visitors, and their recent shutout streak suggests they'll keep the hosts at bay. This looks like a fairly tight, low-scoring contest.
Back Dender to win. They've proven they can handle Francs Borains, they're in outstanding form, and their defence is the best in the division. The visitors are marginally more likely to take the points.
