Ambition has returned to the coast of Sclessin. After a real beating inflicted on Bruges before the break, Standard receives the neighbors of Seraing. The opportunity for Ronny Deila’s men to win for the fifth time in a row in the league. And to get closer to the top 5. The Blauw en Zwart are only three points ahead and are third while OHL has only two points more.
To achieve this goal, Deila should keep the system that beat FC Bruges but he is deprived of Balikwisha, suspended. Melegoni is tipped to replace him. Behind, Cimirot might re-stack in central defense but felt a stiffness following his match with Bosnia. He might be replaced by Noubi.
For its part, the Steelworkers want to put an end to the bad streak that is chasing them following two straight losses. But Jose Jeunechamps must deplore several absences like Ba, Valentin Guillaume and certainly Opare.
Likely teams:
Standard: Bodart, Dussenne, Bope, Barrett, Dewaele, Raskin, Melegoni, Dønnum, Amallah, Zinckernagel & Perica
Seraing: Dietsch, Tremoulet, Mbow, Sylla, Sissoko, Lahssaini, Poaty, Mansoni, Mvoué, Marius, Bernier
