- Standard Liège II have the most conceded goals (43) in Challenger Pro League
- Excelsior Virton have the fewest scored goals (21) in Challenger Pro League
Standard Liège II have had a bad season and will be relegated from Challenger Pro League. Excelsior Virton are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Standard Liège II form and stats
With 1 Challenger Pro League win, 5 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Standard Liège II are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Stress levels are on the rise for Standard's attacking players as they have now played 211 minutes without scoring in a league game. Brrou was their last goal scorer. Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Tom Poitoux not having conceded a league goal in 220 minutes.
Standard Liège II shared the glory with Dender in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus KRC Genk II.Standard are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 11 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Standard Liège II with 24 goals conceded in these matches. Standard Liège II has at home met teams with this table position (low), four times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.
Excelsior Virton form and stats
Excelsior Virton have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Challenger Pro League, after 2-3-6 (11 played). It's a growing despair in Excelsior as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Excelsior Virton, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Deinze.
Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Dender.Excelsior have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 14 goals have been scored. The Excelsior Virton manager Bracconi has some worries about the defense as 23 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
As it happens, the last time Excelsior Virton kept a "clean sheet" was also versus this opponent, six league matches ago (Excelsior - Standard Liège II 1-0). Head-2-head stats last three meetings: two - zero - one (Standard Liège II wins - draws - Excelsior Virton wins).
