XANTHI – STANDARD LIEGE: PREDICTIONS

Greece is the venue for another interesting Europa League tie, Its Xanthi against Standard Liege at the Skoda Arena.

Xanthi are not one of the major names of Greek football, however with the financial problems facing the bigger sides it could be time for other sides to improve their fortunes. They have played in the top flight for many years but have not finished higher than 4^th. Greek league is yet to start so they have just the two competitive matches so far. In Europe they only have 8 games with 1 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats. In the 2 matches this campaign they won and lost to Irish side Linfield, with the win in Ireland their 1^st ever in European competition.

Standard Liege are one of the biggest names in the draw at this stage. The Belgians  are one of the most successful sides in Belgium, with 10 league titles to their name; including their last in 2009. Standard have a really strong side but just lack one or two players to be a real challenge for the title.In Europe they have amassed 172 games, with 80 won, 39 drawn and 53 lost. Just 1 league game at this stage though and two 3-1 wins over KR Rejkyavik (Iceland) to start their Europa campaign.

XANTHI – STANDARD LIEGE: BETTING TIPS

There is a huge question mark over Greek football at the moment. Almost all the clubs are in severe financial turmoil as the nation reels under austerity measures.  PAOK were dismal in the Champions League and if they are the 2^nd best side in the country there is no hope for the rest. A move on the home side worries me a little, but I stick with my favour of Standard Liege at 2.00 (bet365)
