Eupen vs Standard Liege Prediction

Standard ended last season poorly and brought forward their lethargic form into the new campaign.

Carl Hoefkens was brought in to help steady the ship at the Stade Maurice Dufrasne, but the 44-year-old has struggled in this first few months. He's already under immense pressure to turn the tide around.

Eupen were victorious in their most recent clash with Standard at home and will fancy their chances of repeating the feat, with their opponents being there for the taking.

Standard's games have played a specific set of results. They have lost three games 1-0 and drawn the other three 1-1. Although either side could nick a win, expect the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring draw.
