St. Liege vs KV Mechelen Prediction & Betting tips
Friday evening, Standard de Liège and KV Mechelen open the eighth day of Play-Offs. KV Mechelen is still strong in the struggle for group profit while Standard hits the end and has to do without spell dang Orlando Sa and Ishak Belfodil. Does Mechelen take the three points home?
St. Liege :
For Standard, they can already finish the season. Standard is a dramatic year of play. One single fuss was not enough to get Play-Off I and so had to be satisfied with Play-Off II. It was thought that Standard could compete for the group profit, but nothing is less true. It is last in group A.
Almost one victory in seven games. These are statistics you really do not expect from Standard. Last weekend, they lost again with 1-0 at Sint-Truiden despite a very matched match with odds on both sides. The happiness does not come along this season and the cups go faster down. It is a workout for coach Janevski to back up a close group who goes through the fire for each other, because this will not work any further.
For Ishak Belfodil the season is on. Standard striker will undergo a nose throat surgery and is no longer expected on the playing fields. Orlando Sa is suspended, so Standard has no real quality player available beyond Mathieu Dossevi. If there is quality there is no stamina or the shape is just below all levels.
Probable setup Standard Liege
Gillet, Andrade, Laifis, Scholz, Luchkevych, Ndongala, Deom, Luyindama, Dossevi, Emond, Bolingi
KV Mechelen :
A European ticket is what KV Mechelen hopes and secretly does as the season progressed. It could nest at the top but failed to win a place for the best six of the regular league. As a result, they were considered as favorite to win group A in Play-Off II. It is time for the highest number of points, but it’s time to share the headline with Sint-Truiden. KV Mechelen certainly can not lose at the Rouches.
However, it had the opportunity to stand three points. Last week Waasland-Beveren came to visit and that surprised friend and enemy to win by 1-3. Especially that it was a deserved victory is not positive for KV Mechelen. This is obviously possible but coach Yannick Ferrera was not satisfied with the mentality; “There was a sense of laxity and it is perhaps good for us to lose weight to focus on us.”
KV Mechelen goes to Standard with the intention of taking at least one point in view of the group win and the mutual tie that follows with STVV. It is at this stage that that decision is most likely to fall. Losses, however, are not an option for Malinwa.
Probable setup KV Mechelen
Coosemans, Cobbaut, Cocalic, Vitas, Paulussen, Zipper, Vanlerberghe, Croizet, Matthys, Schouterden, Verdier
