The Maurice Dufrasnestadion will be the venue for Saturday’s match between Standard Liege and Gent, both coming off defeats to Leuven in their recent league games. The Red Devils are currently on a seven-game winless streak in the Belgian top flight, making Gent the favorites for this encounter. Standard Liege will be without midfielder Aiden O’Neill for the rest of the season, and both Zinho Vanheusden and Merveille Bokadi are doubtful for the match.
Gent, despite a lackluster 1-0 loss to Leuven, are expected to capitalize on Standard Liege’s poor form. In their previous encounter in the Belgian league, Gent triumphed with a 5-1 victory over Standard Liege, and a similar outcome is anticipated. Gent’s goalkeeper Paul Nardi is a significant doubt and will be evaluated before the game.
The predicted scoreline is a 2-1 victory for Gent.
