February 27th features a match where Gent will travel to Liege to battle Standard Liège in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Pro League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 2 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. Standard Liège is fresh off their 0-1 loss against KV Oostende. Kenny Rocha Santos scored the first goal for KV Oostende in the 28th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed Standard Liège couldn’t manage to score, and KV Oostende took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while gent is fresh off their 4-0 shutout win against RFC Seraing. Laurent Depoitre scored the first goal for Gent in the 15th minute, then Tarik Tissoudali added another in the 20th minute In the end, RFC Seraing couldn’t muster any offence and Gent ran away with the shutout win. Gent is looking for direction having earned 16 points in their last 10 matches.
Standard Liège and Gent last played eachother at the Ghelamco-arena on Sun Nov 28th. Gent won by a score of 3 to 1. Tarik Tissoudali struck first for Gent in the 22nd minute, then Hugo Siquet added another on an own goal in the 57th minute.
Gent’s top weapon lately has been Tarik Tissoudali, who has three goals in the last five matches. Denis Drăguş and Renaud Emond are the top scorers for Standard Liège in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
