Sporting Charleroi to take maximum points
Standard Liege are having their worst season in over a decade; they are 13th on the 18-team table, with just eight wins in 29 league games. As a matter of fact, Standard Liege lost four of their last six games; their only win in that six game stretch came against Beerschot, the worst team in the league. Sporting Charleroi have been relatively better than Standard Liege; they won three of their last five games. Considering Sporting Charleroi won the reverse fixture of this tie by a comfortable 3:0 score line; Charleroi should be able to win this game.
Someone will fail to score
Standard Liege have not been a high-scoring team; they’ve averaged just over 1 goal per game this season. To be fair, their goal scoring form has gotten worse recently; Standard Liege have managed just one goal in their last four games. On the other hand, Sporting Charleroi have kept two clean sheets in their last five games; however, it’s worth noting that they also failed to score in two of those five games. At least one side blanked in four of Sporting Charleroi’s last five games, and in all of Standard Liege’s last four games. With this in mind, at least one of these teams should keep a clean sheet.
A game lacking goals
Meetings between these sides at this stadium have mostly been on the low-scoring side; four of Standard Liege’s last five trips to this stadium saw fewer than three goals scored. In the same vein, Standard Liege failed to score in three of their last four games; their games have mostly been low-scoring as a result. All of Standard Liege’s last five games went under 2.5, with their last three games going under 3.5. Similarly, Sporting Charleroi have had their fair share of low-scoring games; five of their last seven games went below the 2.5 goal mark. On that note, we shouldn’t expect too many goals in
