The Standard Liege match against Lokeren will be the opening match of the 26th Belgian Pro League, playing in front of their own supporters Stade Maurice Dufrasne is clearly very profitable for Standard Liege because in this season when playing at home they only get 1 defeat and arguably foster children M. Preud’homme is very strong when at home.
Indeed, in the last match Standard Liege got a losing result, but their defeat was in a big match against KRC Genk, who is currently the top team in the standings.

For the Standard Liege standings, they are still in the top 4 of the standings, with 43 points only 3 points behind the Club Bruges KV which is in second place in the standpoint compared to Lokeren who is still the standings team.

In the last 6 meetings of the two teams, Lokeren has never won and this is also a big reason that Standard Liege’s chance to win.
