St Liege
Sunday’s football game at Den Dreef pits together Leuven and Standard Liege, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Conference League group. Leuven aim to recover from a heavy 3-0 loss to Mechelen and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Red Devils. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, but all Ewoud Pletinckx, Konan N’Dri, Sofian Kiyine, and Thibault Vlietinck remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last five league matches. As Standard are not considered good travellers, yet another share of spoils is on the horizon. It has to be noted that the two sides played out a goalless draw in their last meeting in the Belgian top flight. All Marlon Fossey, Aiden O’Neill, Laurent Henkinet, and Nathan Ngoy continue to miss out with injuries, speaking of the away team.
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.
