Charleroi, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Charleroi players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Cercle Brugge. They achieved 56% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Cercle Brugge's tally of 19 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Their boss Felice Mazzù is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 12 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 10 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Stade du Pays de Charleroi.
There will be mixed feelings from Les Zèbres, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Standard Liege, Recent FormWith Union Saint-Gilloise sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Standard Liège won't feel totally dejected with their 1-0 home defeat by them last time out. They came away from that fixture with a 35% share of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Union Saint-Gilloise, who managed 24 attempts on goal, 8 of which were on target.
Manager Carl Hoefkens will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 10 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They're experiencing a bit of an unwelcome spell of form away from home, having lost 3 of their last 6 on the road and picking up only 2 wins.
Noah Ohio has scored 3 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Charleroi.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Charleroi, losing 3-1 to Standard Liège.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Stade du Pays de Charleroi, Charleroi have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. Playing away from home, Standard have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Charleroi. The Standard defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit Les Zèbres in the league, with Standard conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Standard has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Charleroi in 3 games.
Charleroi manager Felice Mazzù has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ahmed Benbouali (Unknown), Damien Marcq (Unknown), Ken Nkuba (Unknown), Jackson Tchatchoua (Unknown) and Jules Van Cleemput (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Gilles Dewaele (Cruciate ligament) and Zinho Vanheusden (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Carl Hoefkens will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
