Anderlecht vs St. Liege Prediction & Betting tips
The classico is on the program on Sunday afternoon. Anderlecht and Standard both need a victory to stay in the track of the top four. Who succeeds and who sees a crisis appear?
Anderlecht:
Vincent Kompany expects a response from his players on Sunday. After the defeat at the Kiel, the coach of RSC Anderlecht already gave a thunder in the dressing room. Not the loss in itself, but the way in which RSC Anderlecht was led to the slaughter in Antwerp was a thorn in Vincent Kompany’s side. “You haven’t remembered anything we did in training last week,” Kompany snorted. “Not a single meter was walked in front of each other and the opponent could just appear in the back.”
There has been a lot to do this week about the right position for Yari Verschaeren. Most everyone agreed that it is not on the right. Kompany has the chance to center Verschaeren against Standard on Sunday as Percy Tau will be absent for a few weeks. Yari already indicated that he would rather not be played on the right. “I have to make the team perform. We needed Yari in that position on the right. He is also versatile and that is his strength. At a young age, it is normal to be in a different position and to put yourself in the service of the team. ”
The Anderlecht fans have reminded the players of their obligations. They demand nothing but a win against Standard. The group of players cannot ignore it for two days in a row. The board and technical staff are of course not against some pressure from the supporters. They hope that the players will come on the field with the right mentality. Mauves Army hung “Win for Us” this week at the edge of the field.
Standard:
There was not much time to enjoy Standard after the victory against Lech Poznan in the Europa League. After all, a vital game is scheduled for Sunday: the Clasico in the Lotto Park. After a difficult period, Standard continued with a very satisfying victory on the European stage. “This was better,” Collins Fai was pleased with the higher level he saw compared to the previous matches. “A season consists of highs and lows. We have had some difficult weeks but we have worked hard to get back. We also communicate better on the field, “he continued.
Two firsts on Thursday evening in Sclessin: Standard took his first points in the group stage of this Europa League and Abdoul Tapsoba scored his first goal in paid employment in Liège. Abdoul-Fessal Tapsoba saw a dream come true: his first goal for Standard, also in the Europa League. “It’s a childhood dream come true. I don’t quite realize it yet, “the Burkinese was particularly delighted after the 2-1 victory against Lech Poznan. Standard is left with an injury-prone Oulare, an unconvincing Avenatti and an injured Muleka. Can Tapsoba now manifest itself as a deep striker?
For the second time in a week, Standard went through a crazy final phase. Against Eupen, it was Bodart who scored a late equalizer and in the Europa Leaugue, Kostas Laifis de Rouches headed to their first three pointer. It was without a doubt Standard’s best game in over a month. “We find our good flow reflected both in our organization and in the structure. That is good, because we were frustrated because we saw that we were no longer reaching our level. “, Said coach Philippe Montanier.
