The U21 Beloften Pro League encounter between KAS Eupen U21 and KV Oostende U21, played on 27 March 2023, resulted in a narrow victory for KV Oostende with a margin of 3-2. While the match held promises on both sides, what stood out was the fairly evenly matched statistics that can potentially explain this one-goal difference.

The number of shots on target were slightly in favor of KV Oostende, with 9 compared to 7 from KAS Eupen. This differential could have had a significant impact on the final scoreline. Although the home team goalkeeper made one more save than his away counterpart, the higher number of direct attempts on goal resulted in an additional conversion for KV Oostende.

However, it's important not to discount KAS Eupen's offensive pressure. They had a significant number of off-target shots (6) compared to Oostende's 5. Though these didn't contribute to the home team's scoreline, they apply consistent pressure throughout the game which can have a psychological edge. Additionally, they had a marginally higher number of corner kicks (5 against 4), indicating they continuously posed threats to Oostende's defence.

Fouling statistics were almost at par with KAS Eupen having committed 10 fouls compared to KV Oostende's 11. The negligible difference in this case does not seem to have had a substantial impact on the outcome of the match. Similarly, offsides stats were close, with KAS Eupen being called offside three times, and KV Oostende twice.

In terms of tactical changes, both teams made use of substitutions, with Oostende slightly more than Eupen (3 vs 2). This could suggest a more flexible approach from Oostende which can offer an advantage during different phases of the game.

Overall, a combination of slightly better shooting accuracy and tactical flexibility might have edged the game in favor of KV Oostende U21. Despite the loss, KAS Eupen U21 exhibited solid performance statistics and with a few adjustments, they might turn close games like this into victories in the future. The data suggests that bettors should consider both teams' performances closely in the future as both demonstrated competitive play.
