Standard Liege will host Royal Antwerp at the Maurice Dufrasne on Wednesday in another round of the 2023-24 Jupiler Pro League campaign.
The home side have endured a difficult run of results in the league of late and currently find themselves just outside the relegation round. They played out a 1-1 draw against Cercle Brugge last time out with Marlon Fossey heading home the opener in the second half before their opponents scored a late equalizer.
Standard Liege sit 10th in the league table with 24 points and will be looking to add to that tally this week.
Trending
Royal Antwerp have largely underwhelmed this season with their title defense quickly going south early on in the campaign. They suffered a 1-0 defeat to Eupen in their game on Sunday falling behind at the half-hour mark and had a chance to draw level from the spot in the second half but failed to capitalize as Vincent Janssen saw his effort sail well over.
The visitors sit sixth in the table with 35 points from 22 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways here.

Royal Antwerp's latest result ended a run of back-to-back victories and they will be looking to put out a response on Wednesday. They have, however, struggled for results on the road of late and may have to settle for a point here.
