Westerlo vs. Standard Liege Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Westerlo and Standard Liege, taking place on Sunday, 09 February 2025, at Het Kuipje Stadion in Westerlo.
Westerlo, Recent Form
Westerlo will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 away win against Kortrijk. In that game they had 56% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Kortrijk who had 9 attempts and 3 on target.
Their boss Timmy Simons is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 13 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 10 goals scored. So far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 21 of their 24 games.
Results have been poor for Westerlo recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.
Standard Liege, Recent Form
It was just a point apiece for Standard Liege and Cercle Brugge in their last match, which ended in a 1-1 draw. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Cercle Brugge's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
5 goals in 6 matches haven't proved quite enough for them in terms of a return in points, and that's despite having only conceded 3 goals in those 6 games, which shows a pretty solid defensive line. This season they have failed to score in 8 of their 12 away games; however, of the 24 games they have played overall, they've kept 11 clean sheets.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 away games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
