Last year’s finalist from London is sure to have the best of cards before the last matchday, but Frankfurt’s are definitely in the lead in the second round.

Only the Belgians have to do their homework themselves and hope for help from Vitoria Guimaraes in the Commerzbank Arena, unless “Les Rouges” handle the “Gunners” with more than four goals difference. Such a scenario is between Standard Liège and Arsenal, this prediction can be dared, but never occurs.
The fact is that the team of coach Michel Preud’homme needs a threesome and then must hope that the Eintracht at home against the already eliminated bottom of Portugal surprisingly draws the short straw. If the parallel game ended in a draw, Liège would be enough to win at home by two goals to advance to the round of 32.

However, all of these arithmetic games will remain theoretical until Thursday evening. What matters is in the field. There will be before the match Standard Liège vs. Arsenal offered relatively low odds for a tip on the English guest, considering that interim coach Freddie Ljungberg will make a larger rotation and the home side has not lost in eleven international home games.

Standard Liège – Statistics & Current Form

Should Standard Liege miss the UEFA Europa League second round on Thursday, it will primarily be tied to the fifth match of the day in Group F.

While the Belgians missed the 1-1 draw at Guimaraes to kidnap all three counters from Portugal, Eintracht Frankfurt landed a surprising 2-1 victory at Arsenal FC that completely turned the constellation on its head.

War Standard was still in the pole position after the return leg victory against the SBU, so the Red and Whites now need a little miracle to hibernate internationally. A personal success against the “Gunners” should not even be sufficient, since it must be assumed that the strong homecoming SBU defeats Vitoria Guimaraes in parallel.

Nevertheless, the Belgians will of course do everything in their power, in order to – after the last matchday – not to blame. Hope for a home win makes at least the fact that the Preud’homme-Elf was in front of their own fans last a real power.

Against Guimaraes and Frankfurt celebrated the ten-time national champion (most recently 2009) in the current group stage two victories. This was already the fifth victory in the preliminary round of the UEFA Europa League successively. Since now eleven European Cup games “Les Rouges” have not lost at home in the Maurice Dufrasne Stadium.

In the domestic league, however, the shape curve in recent weeks was not necessarily in the right direction. Last year’s game celebrated only two wins on the last five days of the game and was more vulnerable than usual on the defensive.

The last “Zero Game” dates from October. This was followed by seven competitive matches (excluding the cup), in which Keeper Bodart had at least once behind him. However, one must keep the tradition club that in the Europa League so far only one of eight goals conceded at home.

Also interesting: Both in the 2: 0 against Vitoria Guimaraes as well as in the 2: 1 against Eintracht Frankfurt fell all hits only in the second round! Also in the league, the royal club only a good third of all goals in the first 45 minutes. That’s why we’re definitely keeping an eye on the odds for a better second half between Standard Liege and Arsenal.

Anthony Limbombe and Noe Dussenne will definitely miss injured. The use of Orlando Sa will be decided shortly. The hopes in the offensive rest on top scorer Edmond, who could mark seven goals in the league, but in the Europa League but still waiting for his first goal.

Expected lineup of Standard Liège:
➠ Bodart; Vanheusden, Vojvoda, Bastien, Laifis; Gavory, M’Poku, Ammalah; Emond, Boljevic, Carcela-Gonzalez

Arsenal – Statistics & Current Form

Will Niko Kovac be the new Arsenal FC coach? This rumor has been circulating in the English daily press for a few days and at least does not seem to be entirely untrue.

Whether the German Croat, as reported, but actually brought even for the Emery succession in conversation, may still be doubted. Nevertheless, a constellation with the former Bayern coach would have its charm and make sense.

Until the coaching question in London is clear, Freddie Ljungberg will continue to hold the scepter. The Swedes’ protégés landed an important liberation last Monday.

In the derby at West Ham United won the “Gunners” after nine previously winless competitive games in a row finally once again and prevented so slipping into the lower half of the table.

Despite the unconvincing presence in the “Hammers” in the North London district of Islington is good things that this sense of achievement releases new forces and will have a positive effect on the upcoming matches.

Especially in the league wait with Manchester City on Sunday and a week later with Everton extremely strong caliber. The European League match on Thursday night in Belgium is therefore of secondary importance, especially as the move to the next round is virtually certain.

Only in the case of a defeat with five goals difference would be safe outside. If the concord against Guimaraes draw, the “gunners” at least have to see that they do not lose in Liege with two goals difference. All other constellations lead to the progress of last year’s finalist. However, to be a group winner definitely requires a win.

Nevertheless, we assume that interim coach Ljungberg will change his team significantly compared to the Monday game. Players such as Mustafi, Guendouzi, Saka, Nelson, Willock or Kolasinac, who play only a minor role in the Premier League or sat against West Ham from the outset on the bench, should slip into the starting lineup. Tierney, Holding, Xhaka and Bellerin will be missing.

To conclude our standard Liège vs Arsenal’s bid for more goals after the break, let’s say that the English side have met more often in the second half of the season, but conceded more goals at the same time. Also in the Premier League, it often takes until after the break before the “Gunners” thaw. On Monday, Özil and Co. scored all three goals from minute 46 onwards in a 3-1 win.

Expected formation of Arsenal:
➠ Martinez; Chambers, Sokratis, Mustafi, Kolasinac; Guendouzi, Torreira; Saka, Willock, Nelson; Aubameyang

Last games from Arsenal:

In view of the fairly clear starting point and the associated fact that Freddie Ljungberg will rotate strongly, we would, however, at Standard Liège vs. Arsenal also refrain from a prediction on the score victory.

In addition, after the first leg, which had already been decided after 22 minutes (0-3), “Les Rouges” will be warned and work more concentrated. Below the line, we decide between Standard Liege and Arsenal for the tip on more goals in the second half.
