AS Eupen form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for AS Eupen so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-5 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Eupen have lost on their last two travels.

It might be tough going out on the road again for AS Eupen, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Mechelen (placed 11th). AS Eupen goalkeeper Moser was glad for a splendid day's work vs Mechelen, but in spite of managing eight saves the beating could not be evaded. Goalkeeper Moser got the top player rating of the team with 8.25/10. Moser saved a penalty.

A home win before that, celebrating 4-2 vs OH Leuven.

Eupen have conceded 15 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Anderlecht have managed a streak of 4 consecutive matches without losing (2-2-0) when facing AS Eupen.
