Eupen

DWLWWL

Eupen will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 1-0 First Division A losing effort in their last game against KV Mechelen.

In that game, Eupen managed 39% possession and 9 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. Mechelen had 22 shots at goal with 6 on target. Lion Lauberbach (81') was the scorer for KV Mechelen.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent times where Eupen haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Eupen have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 10 goals along the way.

Standard Liège

In 6 of the prior six games featuring Standard Liège, a notably low volume of goals have been hit between them and their opponents. The overall average number of goals per game in that spell works out to a meagre 1.5, with the average goals for Les Rouches being 0.5. Putting that to one side, it remains to be seen if that pattern shall be sustained in this game or not.

• have not been beaten in their last 2 away league matches.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 4 matches in the league.
