Standard Liege and Westerlo square off against each other at Stade Maurice Dufrasne in the opening match of the Jupiler League round 8.
The Red Devils did well to beat Eupen (3-1) on the road in their last league match and they are now on a quest to record their first home win of the season.
Colombia midfielder Steven Alzate serves a one-game ban, while Stipe Perica is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
De Kemphanen, on the other hand, are having a season to forget, with the team collecting only one point in total from possible 21.
Given Westerlo’s six-game losing run in the Belgian top flight, Standard Liege will not have a better chance than this to register their first home triumph of the process.
Pietro Perdichizzi misses out with a knee injury, while all Jan Bernat, Griffin Yow, and Ilias El Hari are major doubts.
This match will be played on 22/09/2023 at 19:45
Prediction: 2-1
