Prediction: 1-1
St Liege
Cercle Brugge and Standard Liege square off against each other at Jan Breydel Stadion in what is expected to be an interesting Jupiler League game. Cercle Brugge have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating both Mechelen and Dender, while sharing the spoils with Charleroi and they must be high on confidence ahead of Saturday’s clash.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the Belgian top flight. Standard Liege have found their best form in January, but with Cercle Brugge being tough to beat at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Midfielder Moussa Djenepo is banned for the visiting team, while all David Bates, Aiden O’Neill, Grejohn Kyei, and Nathan Ngoy should miss out with injuries. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in ten of the previous eleven meetings between the two sides.
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.
