Prediction: 2-1
Mechelen
Standard Liege will be aiming to recover from a 3-1 loss to Gent when they face Mechelen in the Jupiler League round 13. The Red Devils are eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground and the fact that defeated both Club Brugge and Anderlecht in the last two home fixture is fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Sunday’s clash. Konstantinos Laifis and Stipe Perica are both rated doubtful, and their fitness will be evaluated before the kick-off.
The visitors, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team extending their losing run to three games against Cercle Brugge and given their shaky defence, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. In their last meeting at Stade Maurice Dufrasne Standard Liege defeated Mechelen 2-0, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.
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.
