Marlon Fossey and Ilay Camara will make up the two flanks while in central defense, Bosko Sutalo, Ibe Hautekiet and Henry Lawrence should be the lucky ones. Ivan Leko could also start Alexandro Calut but his mistake on the second Lier goal could be fatal for him. “The coach told me that I had performed well”he said on the evening of the Belgian Cup qualification. However, this should not be enough to shake up the central axis which lost last Sunday in Antwerp.
Marko Bulat should regain his place in the starting lineup. But who will accompany him? Isaac Price delivered a catastrophic performance against Lyra-Lierse, being guilty of the first goal and making numerous technical errors. At the same time, Léandre Kuavita was the decisive man in the qualification by scoring a goal – his very first with the A core – and delivering the decisive pass on the third goal. “I think I scored some points”he confided.
Léandre Kuavita (Standard) scored points against Lyra-Lierse: “I made my hole, and I try to dig, dig and dig again”
Logic would dictate that the former leader of SL 16 regains his starting place, to the great dismay of the Northern Irish international.
Up front, Zeqiri and Ayensa, not really convincing in their work in front of goal against Lyra-Lierse, should not worry about their place.
On the Sint-Truiden side, four players should be missing: Barnes, Janssens, Ananou and Yamamoto.
