Prediction: 1-0
St Liege
After defeating Standard in Liege, Leuven will look to record yet another win over the Red Devils when the two teams face each other at Den Dreef on Saturday. Leuven have a chance to climb to the Conference League berth and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Standard. Midfielder Birger Verstraete limped off with injury in the last league match, with Wouter George likely to step up.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest and given their eight-game winless run in the Belgian top flight, home win should be considered. Ilay Camara is pushing for a recall to Standard’s starting XI, while the likes of Bazunu, Bates, and Henkinet are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of the previous five 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.
