The side are linked to Sheffield United through ownership and are currently managed by former Liverpool legend Dirk Kuyt. He took over midway through the season and has been able to maintain the sides push for promotion. With two games to go, the side sit five points ahead of Dender in second and seven ahead of Lommel. Avoiding defeat next weekend will see them promoted as league winners once again, having won the Belgian second tier back in 2020.
