Eupen vs St. Liege Prediction & Betting tips
Last week both Eupen and Standard won their match. Especially for the home team, these were three golden points that take the pressure away, so that now maybe something is possible against the Standard of Michel Preud’Homme that did not play at their best level yet. Will there change on Saturday?
KAS Eupen:
After four games it became clear that Eupen will have to fight back against the relegation, together with Moeskroen and at the moment also Lokeren, which does not immediately improve. On the fifth matchday, there was an interplay between Eupen and Mouscron and both teams then still had no points. Say a six point draw now so early on the season.
On Moeskroen’s field, Mouscron was the one that suffered more from the stress of not losing points and therefore being very inaccurate with the ball. Eupen, on the other hand, played frantically and freely, and therefore took the lead halfway through Keita. The 0-1 was also the rest position. In the locker room apparently was cursed by the Moeskroense coach because in the second half Eupen barely created one chance and it was already Mouscron what hit the clock. But scoring did not succeed, which resulted in a very important victory for the Pandas and thus taking a bonus on their biggest competitor on the relegation.
Coach Makélélé looked back with satisfaction on his team’s race afterwards. “We made the very important first goal and then gave away little to nothing, a very satisfying victory after we had been making progress for a few weeks but did not yet gather points.” For its own public, Eupen always knows how to force something, who knows, maybe, against Standard.
Standard de Liège:
After the disappointment on the European front after the elimination against Ajax in the Champions League, it managed to get a competitive six out of six on the field of Lokeren and against Sint-Truiden. Even though it was anything but easy for the latter, as might be expected from the Rouches. Yet it is in a very good fourth place at two points from leaders Genk and Club Brugge. So in the wake.
Standard did not yet convince by winning big victories until last week with 0-3 won on the field of Lokeren and STVV came on the floor. But Sint-Truiden showed that it is not just an easy-to-beat team and played a very strong game. Yet it was Standard that took the lead after seven minutes via Fai. Bezus took care of ten minutes that the signs were already at the same level. In a pleasant match with chances on both sides, it was STVV that in the 69th minute via Boli actually took the 1-2 lead. It would be typical Standard if they were to get out of it anyway and that happened; in minute 80 Luyindama managed to make it 2-2 and in the very last seconds of the game, striker Emond could make 3-2 with a good dose of luck.
A scoring player would have been deserved for the away team, but nothing that Standard had to do with that. A wonderful victory in the last minutes that makes them the closest pursuer of the trio Genk-Brugge-Anderlecht. Preud’Homme knows that his team can take better suits but that the competition also lasts very long and there is enough time. “The points are the most important at the moment, in the meantime we are working on our work points.”
