K. Lierse are going through a rough patch. They have lost most of their recent games and haven't won in a while, with a couple of disappointing defeats along the way. Excelsior Virton, on the other hand, come in looking much better, having won several of their recent matches and only losing once. So the visitors are clearly the team in better form right now.

When these two have met before, the games have often been tight, with a lot of draws, though a few of those matches did produce plenty of goals. Looking at how each side is playing at the moment, Virton look the stronger team, but Lierse are at home and these meetings tend to be close. It should be a competitive game, and the away side looks the more likely to come out on top.
