Eupen – St. Liege PREDICTION & PREVIEW (26.01.2017)

Win Eupen Asian Handicap +0.5

Derbi in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League that faces Eupen in the Kehrwegstadion against Standard Liege, leaving the capital team of Liège very favorite, but I think that this Thursday the small team can eat the great.

Eupen is the small town team located in the province of Liège, Walloon capital of the region so these parties always have an extra competitiveness on the part of both teams. Newly promoted from the Proximus league in which he played last season this year is correctly solving the competition occupying the thirteenth place currently stands out for having made the Kehrwegstadion a fortin. He has only lost three games in Eupen, his first party just released the new competition so we go back to August last year and the last two games played in the Kehrwegstadion the penultimate clear before Club Bruges, current leader of the competition And the last game against Genk, but with a very tight score 0-1 with a goal from Genk in the last 10 minutes, so the match could have ended otherwise and different, holding well almost the whole encounter. But as I say for the Eupen it is key to score points in their own stadium. Eupenm manages to get 65% of points in the Kehrwegstadion and this Thursday can expand even more these percentages.

Liege’s Standard should be a superior team, not having played the Europa League this season having been eliminated in the group stage, having played against our Celta. But this season is not being the invincible team of other seasons. In the Europa League as we have commented only to win a match of the six that I dispute in the group phase, only beat to Panathinaikos, equipment of group G that did not win any party and only obtained a tie exactly before Standard of Liège. And in this Jupiler League things are not going very well either. He has more than 62% of games where he has scored points with only 8 wins in the 21 games already played. In addition to outside Liège, his performance is very low, where he has only managed to win a single occasion of the 10 already played games, still pending of the suspended party before Charleroi, party with serious initiants that at the moment is Liege with advantage, his victory has been by The minima to the Lokeren, by 0-1, reason why it is not exactly a rival too expeditious outside Liège.

Therefore derbi regional among the humblest team of the Eupen and that in its stadium is managing to score in a habitual way before the almighty Standard of Liege and where I think that the bad moment of Standard of Liège and the desire to play before its maximum rival will do That Eupen achieved the least score in the Kehrwegstadion.
