Preview

• Anticipation builds as Standard Liège prepare to host Dender at Stade Maurice Dufrasne on 2025-05-17 (kick-off 17:15 GMT), in the Conference League Play-off Group of the 2024-2025 First Division A.
• Expect 4-5 yellow cards and 0-1 red cards, and 22 fouls this match from Referee A. Letellier based on their last 10 games.
• Over 3 head-to-head encounters, I. Leko has 2 wins and V. Euvrard has no wins with 1 draw.
• Standard Liège are 6th in the standings with 25 points, followed by Dender in 4th on 27 points.
• There are no injury or suspension concerns for either Standard Liège or Dender.
• Our model projects Standard Liège in a 3-defender setup (3-5-2), with Dender anticipated to match that in 3-4-1-2.
• Last time out, M. Fossey registered the best mark for Standard Liège - 6.5 - and B. Goncalves did likewise for Dender with an 9.5 score.
• Contrast in results: Standard Liège had to share the points 0-0 with Mechelen, whereas Dender claimed victory 5-0 vs. OH Leuven.
• Neither side is flying – Standard Liège 0-3-2 and Dender 2-1-2 over the last 5 matches.
• Dominance for Standard Liège: across 8 clashes, they've won 6 games and only lost 0 games to Dender, with 2 stalemates.
• With both sides enjoying similar home/away returns (7-6-6 vs 4-4-11) and scoring roughly 0.79-1.21 goals, a 1-1 draw seems on the cards.
