Standard Liege Preview – Can Standard Liege end on positive note?
Standard Liege face a tough final group match against Portuguese visitors, Benfica, despite holding home advantage at their Stade Maurice Dufrasne as the hosts have lost four of their five matches to date in the group stage of the Europa League.
Defeats against Rangers (home and away), Benfica 3-0 away and Lech Poznan 3-1 away have done the damage for the Belgian hosts and they are now down and out with no hope of progressing to the knockout rounds, with just a 2-1 home win against Lech Poznan to show for their efforts.
And although Standard Liege have lost just one of their last 16 Europa League ties at home in recent times, this is a very different side this term in this competition and confidence is low.
Benfica Preview – Can Benfica finish off in style?
Benfica bring a three-match winning streak into this upcoming Matchday 6 tie in Belgium having despatched Maritimo and Pacos Ferreira in the Portuguese Primeira Liga and seeing off Polish side, Lech Poznan, with a resounding 4-0 victory at home on Matchday 5.
Indeed, Benfica have lost just two of their last 15 matches in all competitions and the visitors still remain unbeaten in this season’s Europa League which includes wins against Lech Poznan (home and away) along with the aforementioned 3-0 home win over tonight’s hosts, Standard Liege.
Despite losing four of their last 11 away ties at this level, Benfica look a much more solid proposition this time around and look set to do the ‘double’ over Standard Liege here.
