Royal Excel Mouscron - Standard Liège betting tips and odds

Though Royal Excel Mouscron 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.

Most bookies see Standard Liège as the favourites in this matchup, though it’s important to know things can go either way. Their victory is currently priced at 2.10, indicating that the hosts have a fighting chance.

In a surprising turn of events, Royal Excel Mouscron took the lead in the early stages of their previous Pro League match at Beerschot-Wilrijk . The lead withered away into a 2:2 draw in the second half - which still counts as a moderate success considering the overwhelming odds they were up against.

The 1:3 result of Standard Liège’s home match against Anderlecht was expected by most online sportsbooks. Standard Liège were clear underdogs at the start of the game, and it quickly went south for them.

The first step Royal Excel Mouscron need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

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.

Despite their position as favourites, Standard Liège already lost this matchup earlier in the season. This bit of information shines a new light on the 2.10 odds which most bookies are offering for their victory.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.95 if you use the bet365 sportsbook.
