🗞️ Team News: Standard Liège

Attila Szalai (minor knock), David Bates (Knee injury) and Andi Zeqiri (ankle sprain) are not available for Standard Liège manager Ivan Leko.

We are thinking that Les Rouches will probably make use of the 3-5-2 formation this time and select 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

In an otherwise available group, there is only the one fitness worry for the Charleroi boss Rik De Mil to be concerned with. Aiham Ousou (Adductor injury) won’t be playing here.

It’s our belief that Les Zèbres seem most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system, starting 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.
