It's a new beginning in First Amateur Division - the first fixture of the season. Read our full preview and see how Thes Sport and Liège did in their pre-season matches!
9-5-7 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Liège when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 21 matches are 38-22 (scored/conceded).
It's no vacation for neither Thes Sport nor Liège as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Thes Sport form and stats
Last season, Thes Sport's league results were 10 wins, 9 draws and 9 losses, providing 10th spot in the First Amateur Division. During these 28 matches they scored 35 goals and conceded 35. Playing as the host team in the former season Thes Sport produced 5-5-4 (win-draw-lost) with 17 goals and 21 conceded.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Belgian Cup game versus Ostiches in only four days. This game is also played here at Sportcentrum Tessenderlo.
With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Thes Sport friendly games in pre-season: Thes Sport played one friendly, won 0, drew 0 and lost 1. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Thes Sport scored 0 goals and conceded 3 in these one game.
Liège form and stats
Last season was a triumph for Liège in the national league as they took home the First Amateur Division trophy. The championship was secured after 14 wins, 8 draws and only 6 defeats. As this is an away game, it's natural to look at the stats for away matches last season: Won 5, drew 4 and lost 5.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Belgian Cup trip to Tempo Overijse.
Just as the home team, Liège have been through a few friendly games in the intense training period that just finished. The results from these training matches are 1 Liège win, 0 draws and 0 losses.
Head 2 Head
Thes Sport-Liège H2H statistics last five meetings regardless of arena: Thes Sport two wins, Liège two wins, one draw. two of these five matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
