Beerschot VA hosts Standard Liege in round 4 of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Sunday, August 30th at Olympisch Stadion (Antwerp)
Beerschot is definitely the opening of the new season in the Jupiler League. The team of the Argentine mentor Losada gained three victories in three starting matches of the championship, and now it is leading the championship along with Charleroi. In the third round, the hosts managed to defeat the newly made champion Brugge away (0-1), which causes great respect. The team is quite international in terms of the squad, but two leaders stand out in it - Cameroonian Nubissi and Austrian Holzhauser, who "sentenced" Brugge. The team plays attacking football. It looks even more interesting than Standard Liege in this regard. The visitors are rather weak in positional attacks so far. The infirmary of Beerschot is empty, which creates a certain depth of the squad.

Without its captain Bastien, the Liege team had problems with creation in the home match with Genk, so the zeros on the scoreboard should not surprise anyone. Bastien has a strong impact on the attacking line, and neither Chop nor Avenatti can score so far. Taking into account the visitors' problems in the attack, we will push off from the hosts in this match. Losses also greatly weaken the potential of Standard Liege. Balikwisha, Bastien, Amalla, Sissako, and Gonzalez will not be able to help Standard.
The teams have never crossed paths yet. The team from Antwerp is a daring upstart at the start. It plays attack first and does not experience any personnel problems, while Liege has problems not only with the squad, but also with the positional attack. Based on three rounds I can say that Losada's team looks better and has a clearer game structure, so the "non-defeat" in the match with Standard is likely to happen.
Prediction for the match: Beerschot VA to win with +0.5 handicap
