Royal Antwerp will welcome Eupen to Bosuilstadion for a Jupiler League matchday 10 fixture on Sunday.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a harrowing 3-2 defeat against Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League at the same ground. They took a two-goal lead courtesy of goals from Arbnor Muja and Michel-Ange Balikwisha. However, a second-half fightback from the Ukrainians saw them leave with all three points, with Danylo Sikan's brace inspiring the fightback.
The Reds will turn their focus back to the domestic scene where their last league game saw them held to a goalless draw away to Mechelen.
Eupen, meanwhile, suffered a 3-1 defeat against Anderlecht on home turf. Luis Vazquez wrapped up the scoring for the visitors with two minutes left on the clock.
The defeat left the Pandas in 11th spot, having garnered 10 points from nine games. Antwerp occupy fifth place with 14 points to show for their efforts in nine games.
