Possible line-up: Zitka, Wasilewski, Van Damme, Juhasz, Deschacht, Polak, Biglia, Hassan, Goor, Mpenza, Théréau Replacements: Proto, Schollen, De Man, Vadis, Von Schlebrügge, Saré, Gillis
Injured: Frutos, Pareja, Boussoufa, Serhat, Legear, Baseggio Suspended: / On 1 card of a suspension: Biglia, Serhat, Deschacht, Van Damme
