11:30 AM
Prediction: 1-1
Anderlecht
All eyes will be on Stade Maurice Dufrasne when Standard Liege and Anderlecht square off against each other in the Jupiler League derby on Matchday 11. The Red Devils did well to beat Club Brugge before the international break and, no doubt, they are eager to claim yet another major scalp in the Belgian top flight. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, with talented England midfielder Isaac Price pushing for a start after sealing the victory against the Blauw-Zwart.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Eupen (3-1) and Mechelen (3-1) and given their attacking potential, we believe that punters from all around the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. As for the away team, both Yari Verschaeren and Thomas Delaney miss out with injuries, while influential attacker Kasper Dolberg is back to contention.

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.
