📋 Team News: Standard Liège

Josué Homawoo (Achilles tendon rupture) and Mohammed El Hankouri (Ankle injury) won’t be playing for Standard Liège gaffer Vincent Euvrard.

We think that Les Rouches may well use the 5-4-1 system for this game featuring Matthieu Epolo, Marlon Fossey, Daan Dierckx, David Bates, Ibe Hautekiet, Gustav Mortensen, Adnane Abid, Ibrahim Karamoko, Marco Ilaimaharitra, Rafiki Saïd and Timothé Nkada.

ℹ️ Team News: Charleroi

Thanks to a largely full-strength group of players, there is just the sole fitness issue for the Charleroi manager Mario Kohnen to be concerned with. Massamba Sow (minor knock) won’t be playing here.

We’re of the thinking that Les Zèbres appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup, choosing Mohamed Koné, Lewin Blum, Aiham Ousou, Cheick Keita, M. Nzita Theto, Yacine Titraoui, Etienne Camara, K. Van Den, Patrick Pflucke, Parfait Guiagon and Aurélien Scheidler.

🧠 Prediction

In our opinion, Charleroi and Standard Liège could both end up scoring in a what should be a good tussle with little between the two teams.

Let’s see how this one goes, but it looks this could be a draw. That’s why we have predicted a close game with a 1-1 draw at the conclusion of the game.
