Aywaille vs Acren-Lessines - Second Amateur Division - ACFF

A fascinating Second Amateur Division - ACFF chapter awaits on April 19, 2026 when Aywaille take on Acren-Lessines at the home ground — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. Chelsea take on Serie A giants Juventus in Hong Kong this morning in the latest fixture on their pre-season tour of Asia.

Both Aywaille and Acren-Lessines will be eager to build momentum when they meet in Second Amateur Division - ACFF. Aywaille are in the midst of a difficult spell, LLLL in their last five summing up a win rate of 0%. Acren-Lessines are searching for answers away from home, LDLL over their last five with a campaign win rate of 0%. The contrast in attacking output — 0.75 versus 1.25 goals per game — adds an extra layer of intrigue. In his latest column, Paul Merson predicts the 2026/27 Premier League season at both ends of the table.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Aywaille will look to impose their style on home soil, while Acren-Lessines are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. But it was a dual role for Rayo because he was also among the top dozen players for blocking crosses and winning possession in the defensive third.

Neither side is short on individuals capable of tilting the balance, and the duel between the two squads' chief creators could prove particularly pivotal. How each side deals with the other's danger men — and who takes their chances when they come — will be central to the outcome. But with United in need of a new top central midfielder, an Express Sport poll of United supporters have voted for Tchouameni to be their next signing, with 32% respondents wanting the Frenchman to join.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 1-1 draw feels like a fitting result. More than just three points is on the line at the home ground — this is a fixture that could shape the narrative of both clubs' seasons. A more central role appears likely given the sale of Youri Tielemans to Manchester United and the anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered by Amadou Onana at the World Cup.
