On Friday night, the Jupiler Pro League opens with the match between Standard and Lokeren. The match will be played in Liège and that will be very much in favor of Standard. Last game was lost in Genk from the leader by two goals from Ally Samatta. With the support of the fanatical supporters in-house and the knowledge that Lokeren is not at the forefront, Friday will have to change.

But Lokeren also wants to get a good result. The club is in last place and seems to be heading for relegation. A win at Antwerp brought some hope and gave trainer Glen de Boeck more confidence in a good outcome. Domper is the failure of Miric. He fell out with an injury. After investigation it turned out to be a broken foot bone. It is not yet clear when the player can get back into action.

Standard is the number four in the league in Belgium. On paper it is therefore the big favorite for the coming weekend competition.

We see Lokeren as a cat. That can make strange jumps.
