Standard Liege vs Cercle Brugge Prediction and Match Preview

Standard Liege vs Cercle Brugge Match Preview

Standard Liege’s beginning of this season was interesting with two victories and a draw. This run appeared to be a well kept beginning but did not last for long as Union SG trounced them scoring three consecutive goals in their recent Jupiler League match. The defensive line is stable now, but in conceding goals as they failed to keep their last three matches consecutively clean.

Cercle Brugge had a terrible beginning, one draw and two losses in the first three games. That was broken with an impressive 4-1 win over Westerlo in their most recent league game. That game also responded to the critics who were doubting their attack which had not yet scored in the season prior to that game.

But even so, Rednic Mircea’s team have the advantage here since they possess a three-match unbeaten streak against Cercle Brugge.

The home support is also likely to bring in some morale as Liege lost only twice in the history of this encounter at their secure lair. So Cinel Onur’s Cercle Brugge wont have it easy at Maurice Dufrasnestadion this Saturday.

Standard Liege vs Cercle Brugge Prediction

Cercle Brugge have been disappointing away from home for the last few months. They have won only one of the last 14 games away, indicating their poor away form.

This is an important stat to keep in mind here as the home team Standard Liege doesn’t possess an overwhelming home form in recent times.

Nevertheless, Liege alternates four games of not being beaten at home with a good show by their defense and attack.

Liege’s French forward Thomas Henry got into form earlier with two goals and an assist in four matches at the beginning. He assisted Liege to win their last home game against Genk which saw him assisting for both of the goals they scored. Nonetheless, we can see Liege conceding one from the visiting team making it three games in succession with defensive leak at home.

With all of this in mind, the match with a victory for Liege is indicated by the recent form and history. But it will not be a clean sheet victory as the defensive display of Liege resembles a wall of holes. Conversely, the attack is okay and their striker Thomas Henry appears worthy to bank upon.
