KV Oostende and Anderlecht square off at Diaz Arena as round 24 of the Belgian Jupiler League gets underway on Friday.

The visitors head into the weekend unbeaten in five consecutive matches against De Kustboys and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.

KV Oostende stopped the rot last Saturday when they held on for a 2-2 draw against KV Kortrijk at the Guldensporen Stadion.

With 18 points from 23 games, Oostende are currently 17th in the Jupiler League table, three points behind 15th-placed Eupen just outside the danger zone.

Elsewhere, Anderlecht were denied a second consecutive victory last time out as they played out a goalless draw with Royal Antwerp.

This followed a 1-0 victory over RFC Seraing on January 22 which saw their three-game winless run come to an end.

With 28 points from 23 matches, Anderlecht are currently 11th in the league table, five points off the Conference League playoff places.
