Westerlo and Standard Liege will trade tackles in a Belgian Jupiler Pro League matchday 25 clash on Sunday (February 9th). The game will be played at Het Kuipje.
The home side will be looking to build on the 2-1 comeback away win they registered over Kortrijk last weekend. They went behind to Jean-Kevin Duverne's 27th-minute strike. Westerlo were then reduced to 10 men in the 63rd minute but found the equaliser four minutes later through Jordan Bos. Their hosts were themselves reduced to 10 men with eight minutes left on the clock and Matija Frigan scored the match-winner for them in the 89th minute.
Standard Liege, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw away to Cercle Brugge. They went behind to Nazinho's 64th-minute strike and Cercle were seemingly on their way to victory but Lazare Amani scored a last-gasp equalizer in the eighth minute of injury time.
The stalemate left the Reds in seventh spot in the standings with 35 points to show for their efforts in 24 games. Westerlo are 13th on 26 points.

Standard Liege continued their impressive run of form with their draw last weekend, snatching a point with practically the last kick of the game.
