It was expected that after being relegated to the second division at the end of last season, Eupen would immediately and easily return to the elite. However, the reality was a bit more brutal – not only is Eupen not among the leaders of the Challenger Pro League, it is now only ninth in the standings, three points behind the promotion zone.
Union, who for three consecutive seasons in full earnest fighting for the Belgian championship, is now experiencing a crisis. For 12 rounds the team managed to get only 3 wins and currently occupies only 10th line in the standings. From the current leader Union is already 13 points behind.
