Lommel - Westerlo

Lommel forward Ralf Seuntjens will be the focal point of the attack as his side hosts Westerlo on 23 August 2026 for matchday 3 of the Belgian Pro League. After a narrow 1-0 defeat to Sporting Charleroi and a hard-fought draw against St. Truiden, the home side is looking to establish consistency in the final third. The expected XI, anchored by the midfield presence of Lucas Schoofs and Joey Pelupessy, aims to control the tempo at Soevereinstadion and secure a much-needed result to kick-start their campaign.

Westerlo arrives in search of defensive stability following a challenging start to the season, including a 3-2 loss against Genk. With Isa Sakamoto and Norman Bassette expected to lead the line, the visitors must tighten their structure after recent setbacks. The two sides last met in a 2022 club friendly, but their competitive history in the second tier highlights a rivalry defined by tight margins. Both teams are desperate to move up the table, making this an essential early-season fixture.
