Standard Liège - OH Leuven predictions

With bookies pricing a home win at 1.86, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

OH Leuven appear severely unprepared for a clash with Standard Liège, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.60 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

The beginning of Standard Liège’s previous league match did not exactly offer tangible indication the match would result in a heavy defeat. Standard Liège managed to keep it level at the break but the game ended in a Standard Liège_LAST_ROUND_AWAY beating they want to bounce back from immediately.

OH Leuven are coming on the back of a narrow home defeat to Mechelen. The match could have gone either way, but the opposition displayed better form by grabbing an early lead and maintaining it until the 2:3 finish.

Standard Liège have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Pro League matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

OH Leuven’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 6 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Pro League season, the hosts already recorded a victory over OH Leuven. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

This Saturday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.81 at Pncl.
