Dender will host Standard Liege at the Dender Football Complex on Friday in another round of the 2024-25 Jupiler Pro League campaign. The home side have enjoyed an outstanding return to the Belgian top flight and now sit atop the league table with 11 points from six games in their first season back in the Pro League since the 2008-09 campaign.
They beat Beerschot 2-1 in their last league outing, with David Hrncar rifling home the opener just two minutes after kick-off before Bruny Nsimba doubled their advantage from the spot minutes later.
Standard Liege, meanwhile, have endured a sluggish start to their season and will be hopeful for a positive return to action this weekend. They were beaten 2-0 by OH Leuven in their last match and could have no major complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target throughout the match.
Trending
