Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Maurice Dufrasnestadion will host Saturday’s football game between Standard Liege and Mechelen. The Red Devils aim to put an end to their three-game winless run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Mechelen. Australian midfielder Aiden O’Neill is back from suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team. De Kakkers, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Charleroi and Dender.
As both Mechelen and Standard Liege will go for a win in Saturday’s encounter, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. With no fresh injury worries, Frederic Vanderbiest is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Dender. In their last meeting in the Jupiler League, the two sides played out a goalless draw, but a high-scoring affair is on the cards 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.
