St. Liege vs Charleroi Prediction & Betting tips
Sunday we are in the Vurige Stede for the Walloon derby between Standard and Charleroi. Can Standard maintain its leading position in this always tough battle?
Standard Liege:
Standard remains flawless in-house and so it remains the competition leader. Standard is a strong collective. This can also be seen in the figures. Aleksandar Boljevic was already the ninth goal scorer of the people of Liège this season. This makes them the best student in the class. Kortrijk and Mouscron follow with eight scorers. “Boljevic always made a motivated impression during his raid and he has now grabbed his chance with both hands. That is good news for the sequel. And there are still players outside the core who can qualify, “Michel Preud’homme concluded hopefully.
It sometimes looked that simple on Saturday. Eupen did not get in the way of the Rouches, but it must also be said that Standard immediately applied. After six minutes the ball was already in: Kostas Laifis with a low slider. Before that there were possibilities on the 1-0. “We had prepared this match for two scenarios,” Preud’homme explained. “The first was to try to score as quickly as possible, in which we succeeded. And so we didn’t have to rely on our second scenario. ”
After the early 1-0 from Boljevic, a compulsory number seemed to be in the making, but Standard had to fight against a stiff Lommel. The equalizer of Abdoulie Sanyang was only canceled in extra time by a lucky goal from Boljevic. A hard verdict for the people of Noord-Limburg. Standard, in turn, has to tap Charleroi and Arsenal.
Charleroi:
Charleroi wants to take the next step. The Carolos are financially healthy, but want to move forward. Chairman Mehdi Bayat explained this week more about the stadium file on his desk. “Following the example of AA Ghent, we are going for a new building with a capacity of 20 to 22,000 places. The target is an occupation of 40 weekends out of 52. Partly for our home matches, partly for concerts or other events. And it’s going to be a stadium owned by the club. We have already fixed a cost: 60 million through a long-term loan that the club will take out. ”
Charleroi lost his second match of the season in-house. A first defeat at home and STVV played the game perfectly. “They have anticipated very well,” coach Karim Belhocine sighed afterwards. “They managed to hurt us a lot in the counterattack. We have not played the best match ourselves and we will have to analyze that, “he nodded. “We could just as well win this match. It’s a tough score, but you have to be able to look through those numbers. ”
Charleroi went to visit Ruperl Boom this week in the cup. After a quick attack from the right, Kaveh Rezaei, the 5 million striker who failed at Club Brugge, opened the score with a placed header. Rupel Boom was not excited and kept playing football without complexity. That resulted in the nice equalizer before the break. The second half had only just started when the home team was allowed to chase again. Five minutes before the final whistle, Rezaei again seemed to secure the win, but it was still shaking after a second goal.
