Waasland-Beveren Preview – Can Waasland-B build on encouraging start?
A 3-1 win away from home at Kortrijk handed Waasland-Beveren the perfect start to this new Belgian First Division A season and this win would have been a welcome boost for the hosts as they ended last campaign with seven straight defeats on the trot.
The enforced lockdown disrupted the majority of the European leagues and the clubs within it, but perhaps no other club would have welcomed the early curtailment than Waasland-Beveren as they occupied bottom spot in the First Division A when the season was cut short and no relegation was enforced, but they’ll be mindful that just three home wins in last season’s campaign just won’t cut it this time around.
Despite recording back-to-back wins against Standard Liege and Sint-Truiden, Waasland-Beveren ended their season with three straight losses on home turf at their Freethielstadion amidst an overall home record which ended up on 3-2-9 12/30.
Standard Liege Preview – Can Standard Liege go a step better this term?
Monday’s visitors, Standard Liege, will be looking to go at least one step better this season as they finished their last Belgian top flight campaign in a disappointing 5th place but they started the new season in promising fashion after recording a 1-0 home win over Cercle Brugge.
In addition to losing just one of their final five matches at the end of last season, that’s now just one defeat from their last six overall for Standard Liege who will make their way to Waasland-Beveren in pretty confident mood.
However, the visitors also know that they must improve upon last season’s away record which finished up on 5-3-6 23/23 as they produced inconsistent results on the road last term, but they have won two of the previous three encounters against their Monday evening’s hosts.
