This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Pro League. That game was also an away game, at Cercle Brugge. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
