Anderlecht, Recent FormA 2-2 draw in their last match against Kortrijk meant Anderlecht had to settle for a share of the points. They achieved 52% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Kortrijk's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. Keeping a clean sheet at home has not come easy this season, and Brian Riemer will not be happy with his team's defensive record, which shows they have shipped one or more goals in 11 their 17 home matches.
Unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches can be counted as a good run of form, particularly with 3 victories included.
On an individual basis, Anders Dreyer has scored in each of Anderlecht's last 3 league games.
Standard Liège, Recent FormStandard Liège will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 4-2 away win against Union Saint-Gilloise. In that game they recorded 39 % of the possession, with 9 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 6 of their 15 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Ronny Deila will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 10 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Philip Zinckernagel will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Standard Liège.
Anderlecht will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Standard Liège, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 5-0 defeat.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Lotto Park in the league, but Anderlecht will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 7 meetings there.
Yari Verschaeren has scored in each of Anderlecht's last 2 league games against Standard.
Anderlecht manager Brian Riemer has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Francis Amuzu (Unknown), Hannes Delcroix (Knee) and Marco Kana (Toe) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With Gilles Dewaele (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Nathan Ngoy (Hamstring) also unavailable in the shorter term, Standard manager Ronny Deila will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
