Dender go into this game after a win, the home game against Lommel United that ended 2-1. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Simons when Atteri scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 61st minute.

A draw for Dender before that, at their own venue hosting Standard Liège II (0-0).
