AS Eupen form and stats

As the visiting team in Pro League matches, AS Eupen have produced an overall stat of 2-0-3 so far. With the AS Eupen losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

There might be some fixture complaints from Eupen as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 1-4 against Antwerp. It's possibly a bad omen for AS Eupen that their goalie Słonina pulled off nine saves in the Antwerp fixture, but still couldn't save them from a defeat.

Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Anderlecht.
