Prediction: 1-0
Dender
Standard Liege will look to keep their 100% record in 2025 intact when they face Dender at their Maurice Dufrasnestadion on Matchday 23. The Red Devils are eyeing their third consecutive league win and they are surely capable of matching Dender in front of home fans. A man to watch in the home team will be Switzerland forward Andi Zeqiri, who scored his seventh goal of the season at the weekend, while all David Bates, Nathan Ngoy, Grejohn Kyei, and Aiden O’Neill remain doubtful.
The newcomers, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Cercle Brugge and given Standard’s signs of improvement, home win should definitely be considered. In the first half of the season, Standard Liege defeated Dender 2-0 at Dender Football Complex, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. Adding to their woes, Slovakia defender David Hrncar is banned for the visiting 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.
