St. Liege vs Cercle Brugge KSV – Prediction, and Match Preview
St. Liege vs Cercle Brugge KSV – When Standard Liege takes on Cercle Bruges at Stade Maurice Dufrasne on Saturday night, they will be aiming for their first victory in the Belgian Europa Conference League playoffs.
The team from Gent currently sits atop the standings with a lead of eight points with just two matches left to play. Both of these squads are tied with Westerlo at 30 points apiece.
Cercle Bruges did, however, put on a strong effort seven days prior while playing against Gent, drawing 2-2 in a thrilling match that saw a total of 14 shots on goal between the two teams.
On recent trips, the team captained by Austrian manager Miron Muslic has often performed outstanding. In their last three away games, they have won two and drawn one while scoring as many as ten goals.
The sheer fact that they had six shots on goal when playing away at Gent the previous weekend speaks everything about their form and way of playing.
Because Standard has been in such poor form in their most recent games, the guests should have plenty of space to contribute in the latter third of this contest as well.
In the previous five league games, the squad from Liege only collected two points. In four of these last five games, they have given up two goals or more. Last Saturday, Ronny Deila’s team struggled mightily in a humiliating 3-0 loss to Westerlo at Het Kuipje.
