Standard Liège form and stats

Standard Liège are steadily winning games and points here at Stade Maurice Dufrasne. 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 15 games. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Standard Liège with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Anderlecht game, 34 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Standard Liège, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Standard Liège's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus Gent. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Anderlecht (1-2).

There will be little rest for Standard Liège after this match as they are travelling to Genk for a Pro League game in only three days.

Standard Liège can score goals in their home matches. After 15 matches they have found the net 32 times. Standard Liège have conceded 17 in these home matches.
