Standard Liege Preview – Can Standard Liege extend 100% record?
Two wins from their opening two matches of the new Belgian First Division A season has given Sunday’s hosts, Standard Liege, the perfect start to this new campaign and they find themselves joint-top of the domestic top flight with Beerschot and Sporting Charleroi ahead of this weekend’s action.
There’s obviously a long way to go yet but early back-to-back wins against Cercle Brugge (home) and Waasland-Beveren (away) have given Standard Liege the perfect platform from which to launch what could be a successful season for the home side as they seek to claim a top four finish this term.
Results at home last season were certainly encouraging as Standard Liege finished up with an impressive record of 9-4-2 24/9 finishing with a four-match unbeaten run at their Stade Maurice Dufrasne and also possessing the joint second best defensive record at home in the First Division A, keeping seven clean sheets in the process.
Genk Preview – Can Genk rekindle past form?
A 7th place finish at the end of last season’s First Division A campaign was a disappointing return for Sunday’s visitors, Genk, as they finished some nine points adrift of 4th placed Antwerp and the Europa League qualifiers spots, so they’ll be keen to make a better fist of things this season.
Having picked up four points from their opening two matches of this new Belgian top flight season thanks to a 2-1 win at Zulte-Waregem and a point in a 1-1 draw with OH Leuven, Genk have made a solid start to this new term and will be keen to extend their unbeaten start at Standard Liege.
However, although Genk finished last season with back-to-back wins on the road at Kortrijk and Oostende respectively, an overall away record of 5-4-6 24/24 needs improvement this season if Genk are to make a serious challenge for a top four finish.
