Sporting Charleroi vs Standard Liège Preview
Thanks for the submission!
Sporting Charleroi came out on top in their final league match, crushing fourth-placed Anderlecht 2-1 in an away match. This result follows a run of three games without a win – two draws and one defeat. The hosts won their previous match – in the Belgian Cup against Club Brugge 2-0 at home – and appear to have the necessary momentum ahead of Sunday’s match.
Zebras remain dangerous in the table, as they sit just two places above the relegation play-off zone. They are 11th, tied on 24 points with Westerlo, 10th. Additionally, the hosts are closely followed by Zulte Waregem (12th) and La Louvière (13th), both on 23 points, and could suffer a drop if they fail to survive Sunday’s clash.
Standard Liège has struggled with inconsistent form since the start of the campaign, alternating streaks of wins, draws and defeats. In their previous championship match, they lost 2-1 at home to Sint-Truiden, after a brilliant trip to Dender where they won 1-0. Standard Liège must resolve this problem to avoid a constant drop in points.
Les Rouches occupies sixth place, tied on 27 points with Antwerp (seventh), but up to five other teams follow with a gap of three points. A defeat in Sunday’s match could surprise Standard Liège in the standings. In their last meeting, Liège beat Charleroi 3-1 at the Stade Maurice Dufrasne but lost their previous meeting, 1-0.
