📰 Team News: Standard Liège
Attila Szalai (minor knock), David Bates (Knee injury) and Andi Zeqiri (ankle sprain) will not be taking part for Standard Liège gaffer Ivan Leko.
In all likelihood, Les Rouches should opt for a 3-5-2 system for this one, beginning the first half with Matthieu Epolo, Bosko Sutalo, Ibe Hautekiet, Nathan Ngoy, Marlon Fossey, J. Thierry Lazare, Ibrahim Karamoko, S. Alexandropoulos, B. Bolingoli-Mbombo, Andreas Hountondji and Dennis Eckert Ayensa.
ℹ️ Team News: Charleroi
Owing to an otherwise full-strength group of players, there’s just the sole fitness worry for the Charleroi boss Rik De Mil to contend with. Aiham Ousou (Adductor injury) misses out for this game.
It’s our belief that Les Zèbres could decide to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Martin Delavallée, Jeremy Petris, Stelios Andreou, Massamba Sow, M. Nzita Theto, Yacine Titraoui, Adem Zorgane, Antoine Bernier, Daan Heymans, Parfait Guiagon and Nikola Stulic.
⚡ Prediction
We feel that over the course of the game, Standard Liège may not find it easy to score goals against this Charleroi lineup who we think might win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.
That’s why our selection here is for a hard-fought 0-1 advantage for Charleroi at the end of this game.
Let’s see.
