Prediction: 1-1
Westerlo
Standard Liege and Westerlo square off against each other at Maurice Dufrasnestadion in what is expected to be a close encounter. The Red Devils have been impressive at the back of late and they will continue relying on their solid defence in the upcoming fixtures. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, while Souleyman Doumbia should recover in time to face De Kemphanen.
Westerlo, meanwhile, suffered a dip in form and given their five-game winless run in the Belgian top flight, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from Saturday’s clash. Costa Rica international Josimar Alcocer is pushing for a start, while forward Griffin Yow continues to miss out with a knee injury. You should bear in mind that the two sides have shared the spoils in two of their previous four meetings in the Jupiler League.
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.
