With their 11 point advantage in the league table, Standard Liège fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Sint-Truiden.

Insights:
  • Sint-Truiden has the fewest points (5) away in Pro League

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

10-9-21 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Sint-Truiden 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 40 matches are 46-76 (scored/conceded).

Standard Liège form and stats

When playing at home in the Pro League, Standard Liège have managed 3 wins, 5 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 9 games. Standard has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager P. Montanier and the players.

Standard Liège's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Royal Excel Mouscron (placed 17th). Heartbreak before that as Standard lost 1-2 at Kortrijk's place.

Standard are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 9 games. On the other hand, Standard Liège have conceded 9 goals. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Sint-Truiden form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sint-Truiden, who have the fewest points (5) away in Pro League, so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-6 (win-draw-lose).

Sint-Truiden play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Zulte-Waregem (placed 13th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Sporting Charleroi.

Sint-Truiden have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 11 goals have been scored. For Sint-Truiden, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
