Hull City's Europa League campaign is in danger of being over before it ever really got underway.
Having seen off Slovakian side Trencin late on in the previous qualifying round, Belgian club Lokeren stand between Steve Bruce's men and a place in the group stages of the competition.
The Tigers have it all to do at the KC Stadium on Thursday evening as well, having lost the first leg last week 1-0.
Bruce is expected to shuffle his starting lineup for the return meeting, with the likes of Sone Aluko, Thomas Ince and Yannick Sagbo all in contention to start the contest.
However, Hull will have to make do without the services of Robert Snodgrass, who will not return to action until 2015 because of a knee complaint.
Lokeren have won on neither of their previous two trips to England, having lost to Newcastle United in 2001 and then to Manchester City two years later.
