Prediction: 2-0
Beerschot
Standard Liege will be aiming to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Kortrijk when they take on Beerschot VA in the Jupiler League round 5. The Red Devils are eyeing their only second win of the season and this seems like a good opportunity for them to return to winning ways. Defender Henry Lawrence is sidelined through suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Violets, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run in the Belgian top flight and given their difficulties at the back, home win should be considered. Even though former Liverpool ace Dirk Kuyt has a full squad to choose from, we are tempted to place our bets on Standard Liege this time out. In their last meeting at the venue the Red Devils defeated the Violets thanks to Denis Dragus’ goal.
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.
