Standard Liège will play its fifth match of the Belgian Pro League Conference League play-offs on April 23 when the team hosts KV Mechelen in its Maurice Dufrasne. Standard Liège is still looking for its first win of the playoffs, having drawn its previous 3 games. With fifth place in the rankings, it will be difficult for the team to achieve European football. Liège's backline in particular is a problem, of which both previous 3-3 results are a good example. In addition to the team's attacking inconsistency, Liège is unable to take sufficient advantage of the matches in which it plays strongly offensively due to the team's mediocre defensive play. In this match, Liège will have to put its rearguard in order against a team that can be dangerous offensively.

With second place in these playoffs, KV Mechelen is currently 4 points behind leader KAA Gent. However, in recent times, Mechelen's play has been inconsistent, with 3 wins and 3 losses in her last 6 matches. While it managed to score three times in its last 3 victories, the previous 2 defeats both saw 3 goals conceded. Mechelen will therefore want to play offensively in this match to put the pressure on Liège and give its own rearguard more space.
