Eliot Bujupi (Knee injury), Isa Sakamoto (minor knock) and Enis Destan (Knee injury) won’t be able to feature for KVC Westerlo boss Issame Charaï.

We think that De Kempeneers may well line up in a 4-2-3-1 system for this one featuring Andreas Jungdal, Bryan Reynolds, Emin Bayram, Roman Neustädter, Seiji Kimura, Serhiy Sydorchuk, Arthur Piedfort, A. Sayyadmanesh, T. Van Den, Josimar Alcócer and Nacho Ferri.

Antwerp manager Joseph Oosting has some current player fitness concerns. Björn Engels (Achilles heel problems), Gerard Vandeplas (Ankle injury) and Mauricio Benítez (Hamstring injury) miss out here.

We believe The Great Old could decide to elect for a 3-4-1-2 system by sending out T. Brandon Nozawa, Zeno Van Den Bosch, Yuto Tsunashima, Daam Foulon, Anthony Valencia, Dennis Praet, Xander Dierckx, Farouck Adekami, Christopher Scott, Vincent Janssen and Gyrano Kerk.
