Royal Antwerp

Royal Antwerp could remain without Maxime Busi, who was still sidelined by a minor Achilles tendon problem on 16 October and could return to training the following week. Semm Renders is expected to continue at right-back if Busi is unavailable. Daam Foulon and Mauricio Benítez, both given their first starts of the last five matches in the defeat at Westerlo, are also expected to keep their places.

At the back, Rein Van Helden is likely to continue alongside Álvaro Cortés in central defence. Van Helden has started three of the last five matches, while Cortés has begun four.

Charleroi

Jakob Napoleon Romsaas has contributed a goal and three assists over Charleroi's last five matches and is expected to continue just behind Aurélien Scheidler. Amine Boukamir and Patrick Pflücke are also likely to keep their places, with each having been substituted in all five of their starts during that run.

Aiham Ousou is expected to continue at right centre-back after starting four of the last five matches, with Massamba Sow having started once there during the same period. Yassine Khalifi is likely to start alongside Boukamir in central midfield, having begun each of Charleroi's last five games.
