Standard Liège, Recent FormThe Standard Liège squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-1 away defeat against Gent, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 46% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Gent's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 9 of which were on target.
Manager Carl Hoefkens will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 8 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 11 of their 12 games.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Wilfried Kanga will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Standard Liège.
Mechelen, Recent FormMechelen won't feel too deflated by the 2-0 home defeat to Cercle Brugge, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. In that game they recorded 56 % of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 22 shots on goal.
Manager Steven Defour will be looking to hit the reset button after his team's terrible performances in their last 6 games, having scored only 2 goals, conceded 13, and picked up a meagre 1 points. Not only have they failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, but they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
On an individual basis, Rob Schoofs will be looking to cause Standard Liège some problems having scored 2 goals in Mechelen's last 6 away games in the league.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 2-0 win for Standard Liège.
Standard have scored in each of their last 15 games at home in the league against Malinwa.
Konstantinos Laifis will be feeling confident of netting goals for Standard in this one against Mechelen with his scoring record of 3 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
Standard manager Carl Hoefkens has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ibe Hautekiet (Foot), Wilfried Kanga (Muscle), Konstantinos Laifis (Muscle), Romaine Mundle (Ankle), Stipe Perica (Knock) and Zinho Vanheusden (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Steven Defour has a number of injury concerns in his Mechelen squad to contend with: Rafik Belghali (Hamstring), Rayane Falchou (Personal reasons) and Jannes Van Hof (Meniscus)
