Match Preview
As Koninklijke Lierse Sportkring prepares to host RFC Liège at the Herman Vanderpoortenstadion on Friday, both teams enter the match with contrasting recent form. Lierse has struggled, managing only two wins in their last five outings, while Liège has shown more consistency with three victories in the same period. This discrepancy in form could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the match.
Historically, the head-to-head record favours Lierse slightly, with three wins to Liège's two in their last ten encounters. However, the recent trend suggests that Liège may have the upper hand, particularly given their ability to score, as evidenced by four of the last ten meetings seeing both teams find the net. With Lierse's home advantage and the need to improve their standing, this match could be tightly contested. The key angle to watch will be whether Lierse can convert their home support into a performance that breaks their recent slump, or if Liège will continue their upward trajectory in the league.
