Club Brugge - Standard Liège betting tips and odds

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Club Brugge winning is by far the most likely outcome.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of Club Brugge and the 6.25 odds given to Standard Liège to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

The hosts’ latest Pro League triumph was unsurprising, considering the 6.50 away win betting odds most bookies gave them going in. They recorded a lead at halftime and eventually a narrow 0:1 away win, securing themselves another 3 points for the tally.

Standard Liège are coming on the back of a stellar performance in their most recent matchup against Genk. The Pro League betting predictions expected them to lose quite easily, but neither side managed to gain the upper hand in the first half. Standard Liège proceeded to snag a surprise goal in the second half and earn 3 points few predictions saw coming.

The home team is here on the back of two consecutive matches in which fewer than 2 goals were scored in total. That’s not the kind of trend you want to be on, though it does display a kind of consistency.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Standard Liège have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Pro League. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Earlier in the season, Club Brugge lost an away game against Standard Liège, though it was with a relatively small goal difference. Most betting predictions agree that things will go differently this time, especially with the 1.45 odds for a home win in mind.

They may be favoured to win, but the home team are still playing at an extreme disadvantage because a lot of their players suffered an injury recently. Antonio Eromonsele Nordby Nusa, Joel Leandro Ordóñez Guerrero, Josef Bursik, Chemsdine Talbi, K. Sabbe will not be able to play, putting the team in a dangerous situation.

Going for a -1.5 Handicap on the favourite’s score is the best way to get some value out of this match. You’ll eliminate the possibility of a draw, for one. More importantly, this way you might actually get a decent payout for backing the stronger team.
