Standard Liege vs Union SG: Belgian Pro League Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups

Standard Liege aims to overcome their poor start in the Belgian Pro League as they prepare to welcome Union SG at the Stade Maurice Dufrasne on Friday. The Reds suffered a 1-0 loss against Sint-Truiden on the opening day, while Union commenced their campaign with a 2-0 victory over Anderlecht at home. Liege is currently facing a string of challenges, as their poor performance during the pre-season has continued over into the new season.

Despite undergoing changes at the club, with Carl Hoefkens taking on the role of the new head coach, they managed only two wins in five friendly matches during the off-season. The 1-0 defeat in the first gameweek was particularly frustrating, as Sint-Truiden secured a stunning winning goal in the 86th minute from Aboubakary Koita, just when the Reds thought they had secured a valuable point. Their inability to keep clean sheets since the start of pre-season is concerning, with their only cleansheet in six games (both competitive and non-competitive) coming in a 1-0 victory against Dutch side Fortuna Sittard in mid-July. Standard Liege’s winless streak of eight league games from the previous season (including six losses) could extend to nine, which is worrying for the hosts.

On the other hand, Union SG will be pleased with their own form, as they appear to be in better shape than Hoefkens’s team, evident from their performances and results. Despite not winning the top-flight crown last season and experiencing a final-day collapse, Union SG remained determined and showcased an unbeaten streak during their pre-season games, including a routine 2-0 win over regional rivals Anderlecht. They managed to keep five clean sheets in six off-season matches and continued the trend with another shutout in the last week’s gameweek one victory.
