URSL Visé form and stats
4 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what URSL Visé have to build on here at Terrain Rue de Liège in the First Amateur Division.
The home team returns to Terrain Rue de Liège after being equal after 90 minutes with Rupel Boom (placed 6th) on their last time out; the First Amateur Division game ended 1-1. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-4 away at La Louviere Centre.

Sint-Eloois-Winkel have only collected 4 points from their away games in the First Amateur Division, after 0-4-6 (10 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Sint-Eloois-Winkel have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Olsa Brakel game.
Sint-Eloois-Winkel failed to get anything from their last game, a First Amateur Division home match vs RFC Seraing (placed 5th) that ended with defeat 0-4. A 1-1 draw at Dessel Sport's stadium before that.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against RFC Seraing was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
