Standard Liege and Royal Antwerp Current Form and Standings

Standard Liege certainly haven’t had the best start to the Belgian Pro League season. They currently sit 13th in the table with just 11 points to their name, after only winning three games and losing five of their opening 10 matches. They managed to beat Westerlo, Genk and RAAL La Louviere, but other than that they have had nothing to rave about. They are only one point clear of the relegation qualification places so need to pick up more points.

Royal Antwerp are performing even more miserably in the Belgian top flight. They currently occupy a relegation qualification place in 13th, after also picking up 11 points from their opening 10 games. They have only won twice, but their five draws have crawled them up further. However, it is the one-win difference which separates them from Friday’s hosts. In Belgium, goal difference is not the regular tie-breaker, instead it’s wins, hence why Antwerp’s -2 goal difference doesn’t outmuscle Liege’s -4.
