Struggling Liège will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying RFC Seraing in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting RFC Seraing have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 0-0-1 (win-draw-loss) from one match.
