Standard Liège form and stats
With 2 Pro League wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Standard Liège are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Heartbreak before that as Standard Liège lost 0-2 at Genk's place.The match schedule is unforgiving for Standard as they have a new game in only three days, a Pro League match thankfully also at home. Beerschot-Wilrijk are visiting.
With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Standard Liège defense is not exactly impregnable. 21 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Gent form and stats
5-4-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Gent in their Pro League matches away. Gent love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
194 minutes! That's how long the Gent goalkeeper Davy Roef and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Gent had fun at their own home (Stade Maurice Dufrasne) last time out, beating RFC Seraing 4-0. Samoise, Depoitre and Tissoudali (2) scored. Attacker Tissoudali got a player rating of 8.23 in the game. "Man of the match" Tissoudali scored two goals, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times.
Preceding that game was the away victory against AS Eupen with the score of 1-0.The schedule is very tough for Gent now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Belgian Cup game at Club Brugge is waiting in only three days.
They concede less than a goal on average per away game (12 so far). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
