Prediction: 1-1
St Liege
Beerschot VA will look to make amends for an unlucky defeat to Anderlecht when they face Standard Liege on Matchday 18. The Violets did suffer the loss at Lotto Park, but it has to be noted that Anderlecht scored the winner in the stoppage time. Beerschot aim to get back on course as soon as possible, but they will have to do it without suspended midfielder Welat Cagro, who is serving a one-game ban.
The Reds, on the other hand, aim to climb to top-six in the standings. Standard are undefeated in the previous three league matches, but given their poor away record, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing more than one point from Saturday’s clash. Bosko Sutalo is back from suspension for the visiting side, while fellow defender Alexandro Calut is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a 1-1 draw with Leuven.
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.
