Dender

DWWDLW

Dender are hoping to win again after their last result, a 1-2 First Division A success over Beerschot.

In that game, Dender managed 35% possession and 16 attempts on goal with 4 on target. For Dender, the goalscorers were Dávid Hrnčár (2') and Bruny Nsimba (12'). At the other end, Beerschot had 14 shots on goal with 4 on target. Hervé Matthys (71') was the scorer for Beerschot.

Dender have been conceding pretty frequently of late, although they have also done enough to hit the back of the net themselves. Looking at their last 6 games, Dender have seen their goal breached in 5 of them in addition to scoring in 5 of those games. It will be interesting to see if that trend can be continued on here.

Standard Liège

DWDLWL ⚖

After a losing effort in their last game against Oud-Heverlee Leuven in First Division A competition, Standard Liège and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that match, Standard Liège had 38% possession and 4 attempts at goal with 0 on target. Oud-Heverlee Leuven had 13 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Konan N’Dri (32') and Takuma Ominami (63') scored for Oud-Heverlee Leuven.

The strike force from Standard Liège have suffered from a shortage of goals in their past 6 games, contributing the unsatisfactory return of just 2. In those matches, Les Rouches have also seen the collective goal aggregate of their opponents equal 3.

Heading into this fixture, Standard Liège have not won away from home in their last 13 league matches. They clearly need to do something about it.

📋 Team News: Dender

Michael Lallemand (Broken ankle), Aurélien Scheidler (Knock) and Abdoulaye Yahaya (Torn muscle bundle) won’t be able to feature for Dender boss Vincent Euvrard.

In our view, Dender look set to make use of the 3-4-3 system, utilising Michael Verrips, David Hrncar, Gilles Ruyssen, Kobe Cools, Joedrick Pupe, Fabio Ferraro, Roman Kvet, Nathan Rodes, Malcolm Viltard, J. Soladio Kandolo and Bruny Nsimba.

📋 Team News: Standard Liège

Standard Liège manager Ivan Leko has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Laurent Henkinet (Knee surgery), Alexandro Calut (minor knock), Boli Bolingoli (Partial muscle tear), Dennis Eckert Ayensa (Adductor pain), Souleyman Doumbia (Adductor pain) and Ibe Hautekiet (concussion) won’t be making appearances.

We’re of the thinking that Les Rouches could decide to utilise a 3-5-1-1 lineup, giving starts to Matthieu Epolo, Bosko Sutalo, David Bates, Nathan Ngoy, Marlon Fossey, Isaac Price, Aiden O'Neill, Léandre Kuavita, Ilay Camara, Marko Bulat and Soufiane Benjdida.

✨ Prediction

Our assessment here is that Standard Liège will need to push hard to see themselves scoring against this Dender side who we reckon will score one, at least.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a 1-0 winning margin for Dender at the end of the 90 minutes.
