Oostende Preview – Can Oostende continue revival?
Oostende continued their recovery process in the First Division A on the weekend with a 2-1 win away from home at Antwerp as the hosts have now suffered just the one defeat out of their last six matches overall in the Belgian top flight.
Recent wins against Leuven, Sporting Charleroi, Kortrijk and the aforementioned Antwerp have helped lift Oostende up into 6th place and the hosts now look to be on course for a place in the Europa League play-offs later in the season.
However, standing in their way this Thursday evening are 4th placed Standard Liege and although Oostende have lost just twice at home all season, the last time these two teams met, Standard Liege ran out 4-1 winners – the goals market therefore appeals here as nine of Oostende’s 11 home matches have seen over 2.5 goals.
Standard Liege Preview – Can Standard Liege make it five on trot?
After having had to endure a worrying four-match sequence in the Belgian top flight, Thursday night’s visitors, Standard Liege, have managed to get their season back on track by stringing together an important and impressive four-match winning streak.
Earlier losses to Gent, Kortrijk, Excel Mouscron and Sint-Truiden had threatened to ruin Standard Liege’s First Division A campaign but subsequent wins against Waasland-Beveren, Cercle Brugge, Mechelen and Sporting Charleroi have lifted the visitors up into 4th spot and a possible place in the Championship Round.
However, there are still question marks hovering over Standard Liege’s results away from home as they’ve managed just two wins out of their last seven matches on their travels, but goals have featured fairly regularly as six of Leige’s 11 away matches have resulted in over 2.5 goals.
