In a weekend match in week 17, on Sunday Dec 5th, Standard Liège will play host to Sporting Charleroi in a Pro League match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 4 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. In their last match, Standard Liège recorded a 1-3 loss against Gent. Tarik Tissoudali struck first for Gent in the 22nd minute, then Hugo Siquet added another on an own goal in the 57th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10, while in their last match, 5th placed Sporting Charleroi, recorded a 1-3 loss against Anderlecht. Lior Refaelov struck first for Anderlecht in the 45th minute on a feed from Joshua Zirkzee, then Sergio Gómez added another in the 68th minute. Sporting Charleroi is looking for direction having 5 win and 4 losses in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Standard Liège won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Sporting Charleroi is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Ali Gholizadeh and Shamar Nicholson each having 2 goals in their last five. Standard Liège’s top weapon lately has been Aron Dønnum, who has two goals in the last five matches.
