Prediction: 1-0
St Liege
All eyes will be on Lotto Park when Anderlecht and Standard Liege go head to head at Lotto Park in the Jupiler League derby. The capital club aim to put an end to their five-game winless run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Red Devils. Even though the likes of Leander Dendoncker, Francis Amuzu, Jan Verthonghen, and Thorgan Hazard remain in the recovery room, home win should be considered as Standard Liege struggle on the travels.
The Red Devils failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Westerlo and given their difficulties on the road, we believe that the time has come for Anderlecht to return to winning ways in the national championship. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Brussels, but both Bolingoli-Mbombo and Suleyman Doumbia remain on the sidelines.
Highlighted Player (Thorgan Hazard):
While his brother Eden Hazard stars for Chelsea, Thorgan Hazard plays for Borussia Monchengladbach in Bundesliga. Thorgan was born in La Louviere, Belgium on 29 march, 1993 and he played for the likes of Royal Stade Brainois, Tubize and Lens during his youth career.

He did not make his Chelsea debut as he was immediately sent on loan to Zulte Waregem, where he scored 17 goals in 73 league appearances for the club. On 5 July, 2014 he signed a loan deal with Borussia Monchengladbach and in February, 2015 he signed a permanent contract with the Bundesliga outfit.

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.
