Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Standard Liege will be looking to bounce back from a heavy 5-1 loss to Sevilla when they host Akhisarspor at their Stade Maurice Dufrasne in their second group game. The Red Devils have been totally out of form of late, but Thursday’s football match could be the turning point for them. Standard footballers are aware of the fact that this game could be crucial in their Europa League campaign and we predict that they are going to leave their hearts on the field. Akhisarspor, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to Krasnodar in the opening match of their Europa League campaign and seeing that Standard are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to put our money on the Belgian side. You should bear in mind that the two sides have never met before in European competitions.

The Akigo have been playing an important role in the Super Lig ever since, but the club’s biggest success is winning of the Turkish Cup in the 2017/2018 season. Akhisar defeated Fenerbahce in the title game, with the likes of Lopes, Sissoko and Barbosa scoring for the Akigo.
