KV Oostende - Standard Liège betting tips and odds

Though KV Oostende definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Standard Liège are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

Despite playing away, Standard Liège are more likely to win this showdown than the hosts. It’s not a done deal, of course. Considering the betting odds for an away win are set at 2.23, we’re in for a close game.

Losing a home game is never easy especially when two teams are so close to one another. Ut that’s exactly what happened to KV Oostende in the last round when they suffered a narrow Westerlo defeat after falling behind during the first 45 minutes.

Standard Liège will have been disappointed with the fact they only drew 2:2 in the previous round of the Pro League. They were seen as firm favourites against Zulte-Waregem with 1.75 betting odds stacked in their favour. They were on the right path towards victory after taking the lead in the first half but it all came to nothing as rivals managed to hold them to a draw.

With Standard Liège_GOALS_CONCEDED goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, Standard Liège's backline has much to be wished for

Standard Liège are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

We already saw these two teams clash earlier in the season with Standard Liège winning a solid home win. They’re on foreign grounds this time, but that shouldn’t hinder them too much – most bookmakers online still consider them to be the favourites.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.75 odds offered at Unibet.
