Standard Liege travel to Het Kuipje looking to break into the Conference League places while Westerlo aim to build on a morale-boosting away win.
KVC Westerlo sit 13th on 4 points, currently eight points and nine places adrift of the Conference League places with 29 games remaining. Manager Issame Charaï, who took over from Timmy Simons, saw his side snap a three-match losing streak with a dominant 4-0 victory over KV Mechelen last time out. Despite that win, their home form remains a concern following a heavy 5-1 defeat to Union St. Gilloise in their last outing at Het Kuipje.
Standard Liege are in 6th place with 11 points, just one point away from the Conference League places. They arrive in high spirits following a five-match unbeaten run, most recently securing a 1-0 win against Antwerp. Having avoided defeat in their last two away trips—a 2-1 win at OH Leuven and a 3-3 draw at KV Mechelen—the visitors are showing the consistency required to challenge at the top of the table.
