Gent:
In the last season Ghent managed just in the playoffs just fourth place and thus took the right to start the Europa League qualification. This season, in contrast to the season before, there is a much worse starting position in the playoff group. With the opening defeat against Bruges that deteriorated even more, so there is not really much room for error in the second group match. A Champions League starting place is currently six points away for Ghent. The regular season could complete Ghent with a lot of Ach and noise still on the fifth place. With the winning streak at the end of the season, the mixed season was rewarded with the starting place for the championship playoffs. Overall, there was a record of 15-5-10 for Gent in the regular season. In the games with Ghent participation fell on average 3.27 goals per game. In contrast to the season before, there were no really outstanding performances in front of a home crowd. The home record of 9-2-4 was upgradeable, especially since 15 home games were conceded a total of 21 goals. Gent recently won two home games in a row, including the duel against Standard Liege. Ghent scored at least one goal in each of their last four home games.
Giorgi Chakvetadze is the most valuable actor in the current Ghent squad. In his 20 appearances Chakvetadze could score four goals and prepare three more. Top scorer of the team is eight goals Jonathan David. Together with Yaremchuk, the two offensive players have the most scorer points in the team. Midfielder Odjidja-Ofoe will miss the match against Standard Liège after being sent off in the match against Club Bruges. Renato Neto is missing due to injury. There will be minimal changes in the starting position of the starting offensive. The loss of Odjidja-Ofoe is expected to be compensated with Brecht Dejaegere. If Ghent vs. Standard Liège proves that the hosts are in the lead, lucrative odds will be rewarded if they succeed.
Standard Liège:
Standard Liège wants to make a splash again in the playoffs! Already last year, Liège managed an excellent run in the championship playoffs, in which, despite a poor starting position, the second place ranking could be conquered. Successful through Antwerp, the team of Michel Preud’homme successfully started the championship playoffs of this year’s season and is currently in third place. In the regular season Liège has a record of 15-8-7 work. The strong yield Liège owes above all the strong performances in front of home scenery. With a home record of 10-4-1 Standard Liège has been the strongest home team in the Jupiler League. On foreign terrain, however, the Preud’homme-Elf was not always on the best side. Only five of the 15 away games were won in the regular season. There was just one win from the last four games in the last race. The success over Cercle Bruges should not be over-praised, especially since Cercle counts to one of the defensively weakest teams in the Jupiler League. The Preud’homme team has set the championship as their goal and must set the next exclamation mark against Ghent.
Although Ghent occupies the last group rank in the championship playoffs, the currently lowest group should not be underestimated. Even before the playoffs, the Preud’homme-Elf conceded a defeat at Ghent. Striker Renaud Emond currently heads the internal scoring list at twelve goals. Most of the goals are made by Mehdi Carcela-Gonzalez. Marin, who was recently courted by some top European teams, will probably move to Ajax Amsterdam at the end of the season. The 22-year-old plays a crucial role in midfield in Liège and directs the game. In the recent playoff game against Antwerp Liège was not impressed by the interim half-time lead of the opponent and made the comeback success in the second half perfect. Preud’homme will miss Oularé and Pocognoli in the match against Gent.
