OHL entertain Standard Liege at the Den Dreef Stadion in the Belgian Pro League on Saturday. Both teams are set to renew their hostilities once again in the play-offs following last season’s clashes.

The two sides are among six teams vying for a ticket to European football after failing to earn an automatic qualification berth in the regular season.

Standard, meanwhile, are yet to record a win in the play-offs, with three draws and two losses. They are rock-bottom in the points table with 23 points – thanks to the points carried over from the regular season. Only the top finisher will qualify for the final European competition play-off – a one-off clash against the Champions’ play-offs fourth-placed team.

Les Rouches come into this game in shaky form, as they are winless in eight matches across competitions, losing four, conceding seven times and scoring none. In their last meeting with OHL, Standard lost 1-0 at home 1-0. In their last visit to OHL, Standard lost 2-0.
