A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Standard Liège fans are optimistic that the difference between 2nd and Zulte-Waregem's 14th place in the table will show on the pitch.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Standard Liège form and stats
Standard Liège have collected seven points from their first three Pro League games here at Stade Maurice Dufrasne, a promising start.
Standard's previous game was a Pro League match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Kortrijk (placed 6th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that, Standard had a Europa League home game versus Bala Town which ended with a victory 2-0.
The Standard fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Standard have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.
Zulte-Waregem form and stats
Zulte-Waregem are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Pro League, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Zulte-Waregem aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 197 league minutes without a goal. I. Seck was the last player to find the net.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Pro League home defeat versus Club Brugge with 0-6 on the scoreboard. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Sporting Charleroi.
Zulte-Waregem lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-6 beating and focus on this one.
Zulte-Waregem have the goal stats of 2-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
