In a weekend match in week 16, on Saturday Nov 5th, AS Eupen will host Standard Liège in a clash of the Pro League. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 6 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. AS Eupen sits at 16th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-4 loss against Anderlecht. Francis Amuzu struck first for Anderlecht in the 14th minute on a feed from Wesley Hoedt, then Lior Refaelov added another in the 19th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 7 of their last 10, while in their last match, 5th placed Standard Liège, recorded a 3-0 shutout win against Zulte-Waregem. Noë Dussenne struck first for Standard Liège in the 78th minute on a penalty kick, then Stipe Perica added another in the 87th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Zulte-Waregem couldn’t manage to score, and Standard Liège took the shutout win. With 21 points in their last 10 matches Standard Liège should be reasonably happy with their performance.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Standard Liège won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Standard Liège’s most prolific scorer has been Stipe Perica. He has netted two goals over the last 5 matches. AS Eupen’s top weapon lately has been Stef Peeters, who has three goals in the last 5 matches.
