Standard have little left to play for this season, as they have paid the price for their inconsistent output throughout the campaign. They are winless in the playoffs, with just one game ending in defeat.

Sint-Truiden, for their part, have an outside shot at finishing top of the Conference League. They are nine points behind Gent and need to win all their remaining games while hoping others can do them favours against the Buffaloes to overturn a nine-game deficit with four games remaining.

Standard have struggled for wins in recent months, having drawn their last four games. Expect this run to continue in a low-scoring stalemate.
