Cercle Brugge - Standard Liège predictions

Cercle Brugge are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Standard Liège winning, though.

Standard Liège stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 5.54 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

The host are coming off from an away match which could have easily gotten them a surprising victory despite the unfavourable odds (4.00). Their first-half lead ended up being a huge point however and they won’t be too disappointed heading into the Friday clash.

With 1.58 betting odds stacked in their favour, Standard Liège were expected to record an easy home victory in the last round of the Pro League. However, they failed to justify the predictions as they fell behind early in the first half and lost 0:1.

Cercle Brugge are a force to be reckoned with when met on their home turf, which is the case here. They currently have a trend going on with more than 5 goals scored over the last 3 home games, and they’ll certainly be looking to continue it.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Standard Liège. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

Cercle Brugge already have a victory over Standard Liège on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the Pro League, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

Friday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

At the odds of 1.62, the match will likely end in a Home Win. The probability of success is the most important factor here, and all signs are pointing towards a triumph for Cercle Brugge.
