Standard Liege vs Zulte-Waregem
Standard Liege painstakingly reaped victory in the Belgian League opening party. They want to appear more convincing on the second match because they play at home. Zulte Waregem plans to arrive at Stade Maurice Dufrasne to be entertained on Saturday (3/8).
Saturday (7/27) they went to Cercle Brugge headquarters and had to wait until 88 minutes to break the deadlock through the action of Renaud Emond. Four minutes later the hosts received a red card which Anthony Limbombe used to close the match to 0-2.
Returns to Maurice Dufrasne are expected to improve the mood of players, especially if last season’s status as the best host with 10 wins, 4 draws, and only 1 loss. Zulte Waregem was not spared from one of the victims at that time, even made a big score, 4-1. At the end of the campaign, the achievement also helped Standard Liege land in the top 3 ranking.
On the one hand, Zulte Waregem was the contestant with the worst away report card of the season with 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses. As a result, they landed in the position of caretaker.
This season, they started the campaign as hosts. However, the opportunity did not help much because of losing 0-2 to KV Mechelen last Sunday (28/7). With a start like this, a visit to the Standard Liege headquarters seemed to end badly like yesterday.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
Odds: 1.52
