Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Following a goalless draw with Leuven, Charleroi will look to return to winning ways when they face Standard Liege on Sunday. Charleroi are on a four-game winless run in the national championship, but they are still seen as favourites to beat Standard on home soil. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Sunday’s clash.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Mechelen, but given their difficulties on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in the Stade du Pays de Charleroi showdown. Both David Bates and Laurent Henkinet should miss out with injuries for the visiting team. In their last meeting at the venue, the two sides played out a 1-1 draw, but we are tempted to place our bets on the home team this time out.
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.
