Standard Liège

LWLWDL

Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of KVC Westerlo in First Division A competition, Standard Liège and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that match, Standard Liège had 63% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. The only player to score for Standard Liège was Andi Zeqiri (63'). Westerlo got 9 shots on goal with 4 on target. Matija Frigan (6', 64') scored for KVC Westerlo.

In 5 of the prior 6 games featuring Standard Liège, a notably low volume of goals have gone in between them and their opponents. The overall average goals scored per game in that spell comes out as just 1.5, with the average goals for Les Rouches equalling 0.67.

Taking a look at their past results, Standard Liège:

• have not won against RSC Anderlecht in away games against them for the last 9 league games. An awful away record.
• are undefeated by RSC Anderlecht in games played away from home for the previous 4 league matches. Away fans have certainly had plenty to cheer about.

📋 Team News: RSC Anderlecht

Marco Kana (minor knock), Jan Vertonghen (Achilles tendon problems), Thorgan Hazard (Cruciate ligament tear), Leander Dendoncker (Ill) and Francis Amuzu (Hamstring injury) are unavailable for RSC Anderlecht gaffer David Hubert.

It’s our opinion that Paars-wit look set to use a 4-3-3 formation for this one with Colin Coosemans, Killian Sardella, Jan-Carlo Simic, Zanka, Moussa N'Diaye, Yari Verschaeren, Majeed Ashimeru, Mario Stroeykens, Samuel Edozie, Kasper Dolberg and Anders Dreyer.

ℹ️ Team News: Standard Liège

Standard Liège manager Ivan Leko has multiple availability issues to deal with. Souleyman Doumbia (Adductor pain), Viktor Djukanovic (Ankle injury), Laurent Henkinet (Knee surgery) and Boli Bolingoli (Partial muscle tear) are not able to play.

We believe Les Rouches will likely utilise a 3-5-2 lineup, settling for Matthieu Epolo, Bosko Sutalo, Ibe Hautekiet, Nathan Ngoy, Marlon Fossey, Aiden O'Neill, Marko Bulat, Léandre Kuavita, Ilay Camara, Andi Zeqiri and Dennis Eckert Ayensa.

💡 Prediction

In our view, RSC Anderlecht look set to get the goals that they need when they play Standard Liège, who could well struggle to find the back of the net.

Accordingly, we see a pretty comfortable 2-0 victory for RSC Anderlecht at the conclusion of the game.
