Prediction: 1-1
Cercle Brugge
Standard Liege and Cercle Brugge go head to head at Stade Maurice Dufrasne in what is expected to be a close Jupiler League encounter. The Red Devils are eager to record their first win of the season, but they face a difficult task against Cercle Brugge, who are eyeing a spot in European competitions. Defender Barrett Laursen misses out with a muscle injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Genk. Considering that the visitors will go for a victory as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. DR Congo international Senna Miangue has been struggling with injury of late, while talented forward Alan Minda is pushing for his first start of the season.
Highlighted Team (St Liege):
Standard are a Belgian football club based in Liege. The club was founded back in 1898 and 11 years later they joined Belgian First League. Les Rouches (the Reds) immediately dropped to the lower leagues, but in 1921 they returned to the Belgian top flight. Standard won their first Belgian League trophy in 1958, but you should have in mind that they were level on points with second-placed Royal Antwerp.
In 2009 the Reds clinched their tenth domestic title, beating Anderlecht in the title game. Talented midfielder Axel Witsel scored the winner for Standard in the 1-0 triumph over their bitter rivals. Standard play their home games at Stade Maurice Dufrasne, the venue that was opened in 1909. The capacity of the stadium is 30 023.
Maurice Dufrasne was the club’s chairman from 1909 until 1931. Speaking of the club’s European success, Standard participated in the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup final in 1982, losing to La Liga giants Barcelona in the title game.
