For the Standard, the season started with a Walloon derby at La Louvière, which ended in a Rouche victory.
But this Sunday afternoon, it is a derby that will have a slightly more special flavor that awaits the wolves, who will receive the neighbor Carolo. A Hennuyer derby which will not, however, be experienced in the same way by the two clubs or in any case by all the players.

“The real rivalry”
On the Carolo side, the one who imposed himself in the cages considers that the most important rivalry is not against the neighbor from Louviérois. “Real rivalry is still between Sporting de Charleroi and Standard,” said Martin Delavalée to Sudinfo.
Originally from Manage, he will therefore not feel any particular pressure when facing La Louvière, which should allow Charleroi to win a first victory this season after starting with two draws. For La Louvière, the objective will be to register the first points after starting with two defeats.
Derby wallon
Regarding the derby between Standard and Charleroi, it is in November that the first of the season will arrive and in January that the return to Mambourg is scheduled. The two clubs could then find themselves in playoffs or even in the Belgian Cup.
For some time, the Walloon Derbies between Rouches and Zebres have been particularly tense. We will remember in particular the pyrotechnic devices placed under the seats of the Liège supporters last season, who had required the complete evacuation of the Visitors gallery.
