6th position in the Pro League table for Standard Liège so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 7th-placed Sporting Charleroi visits Stade Maurice Dufrasne.
- Sporting Charleroi has the most scored goals in the second half (25) in Pro League
Standard have less rest than Sporting Charleroi in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Pro League game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Mechelen, so at least Standard are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Standard Liège form and stats
The story so far in the Pro League for Standard Liège at their home stadium (Stade Maurice Dufrasne) is 4 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats.
The Standard Liège goalkeeper Arnaud Bodart is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 186 minutes without conceding a goal in the Pro League.
Standard are returning here after visiting Mechelen in a Pro League game and winning with a 4-0 scoreline. Selim Amallah, Michel Ange Balikwisha, Noë Dussenne and Samuel Bastien scored the goal(s). Before that match, a win away at Cercle Brugge.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Standard played a great game against Mechelen and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Standard have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won five times, drawn three and lost one.
There will be little rest for Standard after this match as they are travelling to KV Oostende for a Pro League game in only four days.
The Standard fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 11 matches. 12 goals have been conceded.
Sporting Charleroi form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Pro League travels is 5 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. With the Sporting Charleroi losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Charleroi's last three away games as they have all been lost.
The attacking players of Charleroi have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 195 minutes.
Sporting Charleroi are travelling again after losing away to Anderlecht in their previous match (0-3). A loss against Mechelen was the result prior to that, in a home game.
We have checked recent matches where Charleroi have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those six games were two victories, one draw and three defeats.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting OH Leuven in just three days.
Charleroi are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 21 times in 12 away games so far. Sporting Charleroi's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 22 goals from these trips.
