In our view, De Kerels can use a 5-3-2 system for this match and select Tom Vandenberghe, Ryan Alebiosu, João Silva, Bram Lagae, Haruya Fujii, Dion De Neve, Nayel Mehssatou, Brecht Dejaegere, Abdoulaye Sissako, Billal Messaoudi and Nacho Ferri.

We predict Les Zèbres will most likely use a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Mohamed Koné, Jeremy Petris, Aiham Ousou, Cheick Keita, Vetle Dragsnes, Adem Zorgane, Yacine Titraoui, Antoine Bernier, Daan Heymans, Parfait Guiagon and Nikola Stulic…(source: Sportsmole)
