Friday marks the start of round 24 of the Belgian Jupiler League, which features a matchup between KV Oostende and Anderlecht at Diaz Arena. The visitors will attempt to maintain their dominance going into this weekend’s game against De Kustboys, who they have defeated five times in a row.
Last Saturday at the Guldensporen Stadion, KV Oostende held on to draw 2-2 with KV Kortrijk to stop the slide. Prior to that, Dominik Thalhammer’s team had lost seven games, including a 2-1 defeat to Union Saint-Gilloise on December 20 in the Belgian Cup.
Oostende is currently 17th in the Jupiler League with 18 points from 23 games, three points behind Eupen, who is 15th and just outside the danger zone. Anderlecht drew 0-0 with Royal Antwerp last time out, preventing them from claiming a second victory in a row.
This came after they beat RFC Seraing 1-0 on January 22, ending their three-game losing streak. Anderlecht is currently 11th in the league with 28 points from 23 games, five points behind the Conference League playoff spots.
