Diekirch — Standard: 27:30, AXA League

Diekirch and Standard met in the AXA League on Thursday evening. The visitors took all three points with a 27:30 victory at home. And here's the thing — the hosts had drawn every previous outing this season.

By then both sides sat level on zero points from four games. Each had drawn every outing, but Standard shifted to seventh while Diekirch dropped to eighth.

The result ended a run of stalemates for the hosts, who had drawn their previous four matches. Standard meanwhile extended their own unbeaten sequence with another draw earlier in the week.

We had backed Diekirch to win, putting our confidence at fifty-nine percent. The away side proved that assessment wrong with a performance that carried them past the hosts.

The score difference leaves Diekirch still searching for their first win of the campaign. Standard now sits one place above their opponents with the same number of points.
