Royale Union Saint-Gilloise will host Eupen at the Stade Joseph Marien on Friday in another round of the 2023-24 Jupiler Pro League campaign.
The home side have enjoyed a strong start to their season and are going full steam ahead in pursuit of their first Belgian league title in almost a century. They thrashed Sint-Truidense 4-0 in their last match, with three different players getting on the scoresheet including Gustaf Nilsson, who scored a brace.
Royale Union Saint-Gilloise sit atop the Pro League standings with 22 points from 10 games. They are just one point above second-placed Anderlecht and will be looking to widen that gap with maximum points on Friday.
Trending
Eupen, meanwhile, enjoyed a strong start to their season but have dropped off the pace in recent weeks. They were beaten 4-1 by defending champions Royal Antwerp in their last game, with Isaac Nuhu opening the scoring before their opponents turned the game on its head and cruised to an easy victory.
The visitors sit 13th in the table with just 10 points and will be hopeful of adding to that tally here.
