**RSCA Futures are in freefall, and Lierse smell blood.** The home side's been battered lately — three straight defeats including a 6-2 hammering — while Lierse roll in with **2W 2D 1L** form and genuine momentum. 🔥

The youth project at Futures has hit a rough patch; they've leaked goals for fun. Lierse's steadiness in midfield and clinical finishing could make this a long night in Brussels.

Key storylines:

- **RSCA Futures' leaky defense** faces the test of a Lierse side clicking in attack — **P. D. Schrijver** and **M. Mitrović** have the platform to punish mistakes
- **W. Boussaid** and **T. V. D. Ven** need to spark something creative up top, or Futures stay in the mire
- Lierse's road form holds the key; they've been solid but can they finish the job away?

Expected lineups:

- **RSCA Futures U23**: T. Vanhoutte, L. Wola-Wetshay, N. Engwanda, C. Koité, T. Foket, A. D. Ridder, E. Sternal, W. Boussaid
- **Koninklijke Lierse Sportkring**: J. D. Smet, W. Debuyser, S. Vanderhallen, P. D. Schrijver, S. E. Touile, M. Mitrović, N. Mayoka-Tika, B. Smeets

Prediction:

**0-2 Lierse.** Futures' injury-hit squad and poor form give Lierse the edge. ⚪
