- 5' Hugo Siquet is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Royal Standard de Liege tonight.

- 15' Royal Standard de Liege are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ritchie De Laet made 208 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Maxime Lestienne, as he is very good at scoring at Bosuilstadion with 2 goals in the last 2 games.

- 45' The travelling Royal Standard de Liege supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 50' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 60' Royal Standard de Liege have won 363 goals from 372 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
