Prediction: 1-1
St Liege
Sunday’s football game between St Truiden and St Liege will bring down the curtain on round 1 of the new Jupiler League campaign. The Canaries finished the last season in 12th place in the standings and, no doubt, they are eyeing a top-table finish this time out. The likes of Frederic Ananou, Bruno Godeau, Ryoya Ogawa, Rihito Yamamoto, and Ryotaro Ito have joined the club in the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, are eager to represent Belgium in European competitions next season. St Truiden, though, are tough to beat at home and that is the main reason why we are going to put our money on draw. A man to watch in the away team will be new signing Hayao Kawabe, who is eager to make his Standard Liege debut in Sunday’s encounter. Left winger Mathieu Cafaro is no longer part of the 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.
