KAS Eupen and Excelsior Virton meet in the Challenger Pro League, with the hosts sitting 3rd and chasing the top of the table, while the visitors are 7th and need points to close in on the upper group. Both sides' last matches ended badly in different ways: Eupen lost 1-2, while Virton lost 1-3, making this a game both teams want to get back to picking up points. Eupen have scored 14 and conceded 7 in 7 matches this season, and had just won 2-0 in the league before stumbling in the cup. Virton have scored 12 and conceded 9 in 7 matches, but their defence has been clearly leaky lately, losing on a run of 3 matches and conceding 9 goals in those three. In terms of style, Eupen hold 54.1% possession and have 5.78 shots on target per game in their last 10 matches across all competitions, clearly more than their opponents' 4.67 per game. This game should see Eupen as the side holding the ball and pushing forward, and if the hosts take the lead first, Virton - whose defence is struggling and who concede a lot late in games - will have to open up and trade blows, which is the moment Eupen should be able to seize to add to the score. What to watch after kick-off is how quickly Eupen can press their way to an early goal, because the longer it stays level, the more the game could turn into a back-and-forth that lets the visitors settle.
