Standard Liege threatened to be kicked from the big 4 zone following last weekend’s defeat. They were determined to rise when facing Lokeren at the Stade Maurice Dufrasne.

Liege arrived at Genk headquarters on Saturday (9/2) and then went on to match 25 days, but had to go home with a score of 2-0 after being broken into by Mbwana Samatta’s brace. It was this defeat that left them now just 1 point ahead of St Truiden below who won 2-1 over Waasland-Beveren.

No need to panic because Liege kept capital strong enough ahead of tomorrow’s match after winning with the same score, 2-1, when facing Kortrijk and Anderlecht in Dufrasne since the turn of the year. So, they don’t need to worry too much.

This condition is even more feasible to pin on Lokeren, who has just won 2-1 over the Royal Antwerp last Sunday (10/2). Because, this is the first victory after losing consecutive defeats from Eupen, Zulte-Waregem, and Kortrijk since the turn of the year. In fact, their goal has conceded 9 goals in just 3 matches.

Lokeren hopes to at least steal a figure at tomorrow’s visit because he is currently in the position of caretaker with a difference of 5 points from the closest team. Unfortunately, the history of the meeting was also dominated by Liege with 5 wins and 1 draw since the beginning of 2016 after holding a party 0-3 as a visiting team last August.
