In the competition of Pro League on December 15, 2023, KVC Westerlo delivered an assertive performance against KAS Eupen, securing a convincing 2-0 win at home. Despite similar opportunities created by both teams, with each side awarded 4 corner kicks, it was Westerlo who converted their opportunities into goals, showcasing their superior finishing abilities.

Westerlo dominated the match with two second-half goals, the first one scored around the 61st minute and the second one around the 67th minute, opening up a defensive lapse from the Eupen side. The inability of KAS Eupen to convert their corner kicks into tangible outcomes, coupled with their higher offside calls (2 compared to Westerlo’s 1), indicate that their offensive strategies were not as fruitful and efficiency might have been a key area of struggle for the away team.

However, it was not a completely smooth sail for the home team - Westerlo collected 3 yellow cards, two in the second half and one in the first half, which indicates a rather aggressive style of play or possibly a lack of discipline. This can be contrasted with Eupen's comparatively disciplined performance which saw only one yellow card in the entire match. Tellingly, Westerlo committed twice the number of fouls as Eupen (8 compared to 4) which substantiates their aggressive style.

The preference of Westerlo for an aggressive style can also become a vulnerability in the long run. They were lucky in this match that the yellow cards did not influence the final outcome and no red cards were issued. Future opponents could seize the opportunity to exploit this in challenging Westerlo's defensive solidity by drawing fouls and creating set-piece opportunities.

In conclusion, while Westerlo emerged as the victors, their aggressive style and discipline can use some improvement to prevent any disadvantage in future matches. As for Eupen, although they showcased better discipline, improvements can be made in the offensive territory to create more opportunities and to effectively convert those opportunities for positive outcomes. The takeaway for football bettors would be to consider both the scoring efficiency, discipline, and the defensive robustness while placing their bets on these teams in future matches.
