Going into this one, Eupen haven’t won away from home in the past 13 matches in the league. What a horror away run it has been.

📋 Team News: Eupen
Thanks to a completely injury-free group to choose from, the Eupen manager Bernd Storck has no fitness worries whatsoever coming into this clash. Gary Magnée will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
