Westerlo, Recent FormWesterlo will have been reasonably pleased with their 2-2 draw against Union Saint-Gilloise, not least because of the valuable point gained. Their share of possession in that meeting was 44%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Union Saint-Gilloise, who had 17 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Having lost 12 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Rik De Mil will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 11 goals they scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
It's been a mixed run of form for Westerlo recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games. If they want to get anywhere this season, they'll need to do something very quickly to fix their home form, having lost 7 of the first 12 league games at Het Kuipje Stadion.
Nicolas Madsen will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Het Kuipje Stadion, having notched up 5 goals for Westerlo in their last 6 league matches at home.
Standard Liège, Recent FormStandard Liège will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Oud-Heverlee Leuven. In that game they recorded 58 % of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 8 shots on goal.
Manager Ivan Leko will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 5 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 6 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Playing away from home, they've conceded a goal in each of their last 20 games.
They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 7 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Wilfried Kanga will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Westerlo in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Standard Liège.
It was a 0-0 draw last time these two met, so not one to look back on fondly, with both sides taking away just a single point for their troubles.
Away from home, Les Rouches have shipped at least one goal to Westerlo in each of their previous 4 league matches against them. On each of the last 2 outings between Westerlo and Les Rouches in the league, Westerlo have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals.
Standard has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit Westerlo, being unable to find a win from any of their last 5 league meetings at Het Kuipje Stadion.
Westerlo manager Rik De Mil has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ilias El Hari (Knock), Pietro Perdichizzi (Knock), Lucas Stassin (Broken leg) and Kyan Vaesen (Foot) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Ivan Leko has a number of injury concerns in his Standard squad to contend with: Cihan Çanak (Knee), Ibe Hautekiet (Ankle), Laurent Henkinet (Knee), Wilfried Kanga (Muscle), Nathan Ngoy (Strain) and Zinho Vanheusden (Overload)
