Eupen will host Standard Liege at the Kehrweg Stadium in the Belgian Pro League on Saturday (November 5).
Eupen narrowly escaped relegation last season, finishing 15th, but are in the same situation this term. They are third from the basement — 16th out of 18 teams — recording four wins and 11 defeats from 15 outings.
After two straight defeats, Eupen got back to winning ways but followed up with two more losses — including a 4-2 loss at Anderlecht last week. Although they are yet to win the top flight, their objective is quite clear — avoiding the drop. Manager Mario Kohnen believes they can stop the bleeding at home against Liege.
Standard, meanwhile, have been impressive, winning nine of their 15 games and are 15th in the standings with 28 points. However, Les Rouches trail leaders Genk (40) by 12 points, so they need to up their game to make up ground.
Standard will fancy their chances this weekend, coming off a 3-0 win at Zulte Waregem last week. The ten-time league winners haven't won the Jupiler League since 2008-09. They will look to beat Eupen this weekend to inch closer into title-winning reckoning.
