Standard Liege take on the visitors Zulte Waregem at “Stade Maurice Dufrasne” in the matchday four of the Belgian Jupiler League. The game will be played in Liege on Friday, August 18th.
Standard Liege failed last season staying apart even from fighting for a place in top-three. This summer the club has successfully participated in friendly clashes but as soon as it came to official battles Standard Liege faced problems again. The side managed to earn four points in three starting rounds of the elite division after 2:1 triumph over Genk, 1:1 draw against KV Mechelen and 0:1 loss to St. Truiden. Despite all these failures, Standard Liege have won four recent home matches with 9:2 aggregated score.

Zulte Waregem had a better start in the new season as apart from their 1:2 defeat to Anderlecht in the Belgian Super Cup, the club took six out of nine possible points in the starting gameweeks, having beaten Eupen 5:0 and St. Truiden 2:0 and got 1:2 loss to Club Brugge KV. Zulte Waregem are currently occupying the third place in the standings with six points gained and 8-2 goal difference. In regards to their performance on the road, with thrashing 5:0 victory over Eupen, Zulte Waregem have gained their first triumph at away fields since the 12th of March.
Standard Liege regularly took points in their head-to-heads against Zulte Waregem at their own turf, having won four out of five recent fights in front of their supporters. Taking into consideration the hosting side’s strong play at home and Zulte Waregem’s inconsistent results on the road, I believe that Standard Liege are quite able to gain another three points.
Prediction for the match: Standard Liege to win.
