Liege welcome Frankfurt to Stade Maurice Desfrasne on Thursday evening, as they look to double their points tally. The visitors know that a win would essentially assure them of a place in the top two. After a pleasing win on match-day one, beating Guimaraes by two goals to nil at this venue, St. Liege have taken a few steps in the wrong direction. They were convincingly beaten at Emirates Stadium on match-day two, while they were unable to get anything from the reverse of this fixture, losing by two goals to one.

The main problem for St. Liege in this competition has been a lack of offensive quality. Not only have Thursday’s hosts scored just three goals, scoring in two out of three, but they’ve seemingly found it tough to create chances. Liege have generally been unable to forge regular scoring opportunities in games, while they’re yet to register more than two shots on target in a Group F game. Unless they improve offensively in the next three matches, starting here, then they’ve got next to no chance of gracing the last-32 with their presence. Luckily for Thursday’s hosts, Frankfurt have also found it difficult to be at their offensive best in the Europa League this term. The Germans have scored just three goals in three games, while their weakest effort in terms of creativity came away from home when beating Guimaraes by a goal to nil on match-day two.
