Standard Liege have also been unstable in the Belgian First Division A recently. Even though Les Rouges are in the first six in the table right now they have already lost a whole lot of points this season. In their last three matches Standard Liege drew against Genk with a 1-1 score, beat Krasnodar with a 2-1 score in the UEFA Europa League group stage and drew against Mouscron with a 0-0 score.
Both teams drew their respective fixtures last Belgian First Division A tour. However, the patterns of the draws those teams got were very different. Zulte Waregem drew against Mouscron with a 2-2 score and that was just them showing a poor performance once again. Standard Liege on the other hand drew against Genk and that was a very lucky result for them because they scored the crucial goal on the last minutes of that game. It`s worth noting though that Les Rouges managed to find strength in themselves last tour and showed their great character. If the team of Michel Preud`homme though continues to lose points in their league games they will fall behind the leading teams in the table. They are ten points behind those teams in the Belgian First Division A at the moment. The upcoming game against Zulte Waregem will be a great chance for them to score some goals and to get a victory in the league finally. The team of Francky Dury on the other hand is likely to score some goals themselves too on Thursday. They showed quite a solid playing style in their last two league fixtures but managed to get only one point overall. The brightest player of the Essevee has been Hamdi Harbaoui recently, he has already scored a lot of goals this Belgian First Division A season. Last tour the team of Francky Dury broke their failing streak that consisted of seven losses in a row. Now they will be super motivated to get some more points in their upcoming match against Standard Liege. It is likely that both teams will score on Thursday.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
