Standard Liège

The Walloon derby against Charleroi will take place in unusual circumstances for Standard Liège. The match at the Maurice Dufrasne Stadium will be played behind closed doors following a disciplinary ruling. Standard sit seventh with eleven points and face opponents who have collected seven more. Dennis Eckert Ayensa, already on four league goals, is expected to be the focal point of the attack.

Adnane Abid and Salieu Drammeh are likely to support him from the wings, while Casper Nielsen, Alexis Trouillet and Rayan Touzghar should feature in midfield. Trouillet's fitness has improved after minor problems. Mohammed El Hankouri and Josué Homawoo remain unavailable through injury. Henry Lawrence, Ibe Hautekiet, Ibrahim Karamoko and Marlon Fossey are expected in defence, with Matthieu Epolo in goal.

Charleroi

Charleroi travel to Sclessin in fourth place in the Pro League, with the Walloon derby against Standard set to be played behind closed doors. The visitors have collected eighteen points and have an opportunity to strengthen their position near the top. Aurélien Scheidler is expected to lead the attack, supported by the creativity of Jakob Napoleon Romsaas and Patrick Pflücke.

Antoine Bernier is still unavailable, so Charleroi will have to use other attacking options. Freddy Mbemba could provide pace and penetration from a wide position. Amine Boukamir and Yassine Khalifi are expected in midfield, while Cheick Keita and Aiham Ousou appear likely to form the central defensive pairing. Mohamed Koné should start in goal, with Kevin Van Den Kerkhof and Mardochée Nzita completing the back line.
