Prediction: 1-1
St Liege
Sunday’s football game at Daio Wasabi Stayen pits together St. Truiden and Standard Liege, the two teams that defeated Westerlo and Kortrijk respectively at the weekend. The Canaries aim to escape the relegation zone, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Midfielder Joel Chima Fujita is banned for the hosts, while duo Isaias Delpupo – Shogo Taniguchi remains doubtful.
Meanwhile, the Red Devils aim to move closer to the Championship Group berth. Standard Liege, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on draw. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Limburg. You should bear in mind that the two sides have shared the spoils in three of their last four meetings in the Belgian elite division.
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.
