The picture is completed by the 0-0 at home with Zulte Waregem and, further back, the 2-3 at Bodo/Glimt. The two sides have no previous meetings. The competition has only just started, so there is no goal average yet and no table earned on the pitch. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
