It's the second opportunity for points this season as Liège and Mandel United fight it out at Stade Rue de la Tonne.

These are hectic days for the home side, as they had a match only four days ago in the Belgian Cup. This match was also played here at Stade Rue de la Tonne. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Mandel United have had more rest.

Liège form and stats

In the previous season, Liège's league statistics were 14 wins, 8 draws and 6 losses, providing 1st position in the First Amateur Division. Over these 28 matches they scored 57 goals and conceded 23. Appearing as the host team in the former season Liège generated 9-4-1 (win-draw-lost) with 35 goals and 8 conceded.

The Liège club members got no joy from their last game, a Belgian Cup duel also played here at Stade Rue de la Tonne: A 1-2 defeat against Tempo Overijse.

Before that, Liège played out a First Amateur Division draw 1-1 when visiting Thes Sport.

Liège are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Stade Rue de la Tonne with a victory. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. In their match history 18 earlier games are comparable to this one, and Liège has won 10 times, drawn 4 and lost 4. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Liège has won by at least two goals 5 times when in this position.

Mandel United form and stats

Let's have a look at how Mandel United performed last season in the First Amateur Division: They landed a 14th position in the league table after playing out 4 victories, 7 draws and 17 defeats. In total they scored 26 and conceded 50 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 4 and lost 8 with 13/25 goals scored/conceded.

This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, the home defeat versus Olympic Charleroi with 0-8 on the scoreboard. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Olympic Charleroi was particularly ugly (0-8). The humiliation is still top of mind.

The visitors come into this game as huge outsiders. This role is not totally unknown to them, as they have played 40 away matches before with similar winning odds. These games have ended with 18 wins, 4 draws and 18 defeats. 5 games were lost by at least two goals margin.

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the preceeding three meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Liège, zero draws and zero wins for Mandel United. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: two games. The games between these clubs have had a tendency to be aggressive, having seen 2 sending-offs from the last three duels.
