Standard Liege vs. Charleroi Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Standard Liège and Charleroi, taking place on Saturday, 16 December 2023, at Stade Maurice Dufrasne in Liège.
Standard Liege, Recent Form
An important point secured against Anderlecht will have left Standard Liège quite happy with their 2-2 draw. They achieved 43% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Anderlecht's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Carl Hoefkens, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 14 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 5 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 15 of their 17 games overall.
They have been performing well at Stade Maurice Dufrasne recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
Hayao Kawabe will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Standard Liège.
Charleroi, Recent Form
Losing 3-1 home to Union Saint-Gilloise won't leave the Charleroi squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. In that game they recorded 53 % of the possession, with 8 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 9 of their 17 shots on goal.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 11 and seen valuable points lost. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 9 games.
Ken Nkuba will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Standard Liège in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Charleroi.
Standard Liege vs. Charleroi Head to head
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
From their past 4 away matches in the league against Standard, Les Zèbres have managed to find the net with at least 1 goal and will be aiming to keep that streak going. When Charleroi visit Les Rouches in the league, goals tend to happen, with 6 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2 goals per match.
Charleroi have failed to manage a victory in their last 4 encounters in the league against Standard.
