Standard Liege welcome Anderlecht at Stade Maurice Dufrasne, Liège (Luik) on Sunday, Dec 20 at 1:30 PM in a Belgian Pro League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Standard Liege come into this fixture in good form (3W 0D 2L recently). Anderlecht, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Standard Liege head into this on the back of a defeat, while Anderlecht arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Standard Liege and Anderlecht have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–3D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Standard Liege won 2–0.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Standard Liege win or a draw looks most likely.
