AS Eupen are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Waasland-Beveren. Ahead of that match, Eupen won a home game hosting Olympic Charleroi (5-1).

The penalty miss from S. Peeters in the defeat against Waasland-Beveren was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
