Standard Liège, Recent FormStandard Liège will not be too troubled by their 2-1 away defeat against Union Saint-Gilloise, given the latter currently sit 10 places further up the league table than they do. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Union Saint-Gilloise's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Ivan Leko will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 23 of their 27 games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Gent, Recent FormGent will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 2-2 result against Royal Antwerp last time out. In that game they recorded 48 % of the possession, with 13 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 8 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 11 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Tarik Tissoudali is the man of the moment at Gent right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 5 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
Gent recorded a 3-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
