STVV

STVV will be without three players for the visit of Westerlo because of hamstring injuries: Arbnor Muja, Frédéric Soèllé Soèllé and Shogo Taniguchi are all sidelined. Taniguchi did not feature in the defeat at SK Beveren, and Wolke Janssens is expected to continue at right centre-back in his absence.

Samed Baždar is expected to lead the attack again after scoring four goals in his last five appearances, while Ilias Sebaoui and Kaito Matsuzawa are also in line to retain their starting places. Ryan Merlen and Abdoulaye Sissako are expected to remain together in midfield.

KVC Westerlo

Westerlo travel to STVV on the back of consecutive wins over Mechelen and Standard Liège, sitting 13th with seven points from six matches. Lasse Flø is set to keep his place at right-back, with Lucas Mbamba expected to miss out after appearing as a substitute against Standard Liège.

Norman Bassette is set to continue up front after starting in each of his last five appearances, though he has been substituted in every one of them. Shunsuke Saito has scored three goals from the left over that stretch.
