Standard will have no choice but to take three points against Sint-Truiden this Saturday. Discover the probable composition of the Rouches.
Standard is only three steps ahead of the penultimate place occupied by Cercle de Bruges and will have no other choice but to win against Sint-Truiden this Saturday. A meeting for which Ivan Leko still has many problems in his defensive compartment.
Indeed, David Bates, Nathan Ngoy and Boli Bolingoli are still absent, while Souleyman Doumbia is gradually returning to playing time after his long injury. Against the Trudonnaires, Henry Lawrence should therefore continue on the left side of the central defense, with Bosko Sutalo and Ibe Hautekiet, if he recovers from his illness which took him away from the match sheet on Wednesday. Otherwise, Aiden O’Neill could help out again in this position, since Lucas Noubi is no longer part of the plans and Daan Dierckx still seems too short for the Jupiler Pro League.
Does Léandre Kuavita still have to come out of 11?
In midfield, everything depends on the position of the captain. He will be lined up as number 6 if he does not have to move back a notch, and Sotiris Alexandropoulos, author of a good first against Lyra-Lierse, will replace him if this is the case. A little higher, Léandre Kuavita delivers better recent performances than Isaac Price, while Marko Bulat should still be renewed to try to take advantage of his quality in the set phase, even if his contribution to the game has been disappointing for several weeks .
In front, the duo Andi Zeqiri – Dennis Ayensa, the two holders of Ivan Leko, should be renewed. Absent from the match sheet in the Croky Cup, Soufiane Benjdida should sit on the bench, alongside Mohamed Badamosi.
The probable composition of the Standard: Epolo – Camara, Lawrence, Hautekiet (O’Neill), Sutalo, Fossey – O’Neill (Alexandropoulos), Kuavita (Price), Bulat – Zeqiri, Ayensa.
