This inconsistent run has put their continental aspirations in danger. Oostende, meanwhile, are embroiled in a relegation battle, finding themselves three points away from safety.

Liege are winless in four games against the bottom five. The manner in which they let a two-goal lead slip against relegation-threatened Waregem before the international break highlights their struggles. The spoils could be shared in a high-scoring stalemate.
