Union Saint-Gilloise - Standard Liège predictions

Union Saint-Gilloise are seen as favourites to win this match against Standard Liège. The betting odds indicate an easy win and anything but a home victory here would indeed be a big surprise.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and Standard Liège will be left with slim pickings in this match.

Union Saint-Gilloise are coming on the back of a routine victory at Kortrijk in the previous round. They were the hard favourites and secured a lead fairly early, ultimately winning the proceedings 1:3.

The visiting team are coming off of a 2:1 away loss at Westerlo. Facing down 3.04 odd in an away game is not easy, so their fans were at least happy that the team managed to put up a fight by recording a draw at halftime.

A quick look at the recent trends reveals a solid record for Union Saint-Gilloise, who have managed to score 5 times in their previous 3 matches. This means that markets like BTTS or Over 5 Goals are worth your attention.

The previous two matches Standard Liège played at home ended without much excitement. Neither featured more than a single goal.

Union Saint-Gilloise clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, though it doesn’t seem insurmountable by any means. They won despite a home-field disadvantage the last time they clashed with Standard Liège, but it was a rather narrow victory.

To make things even more difficult for the visitors, they’ve had an unfortunate run of injuries recently. Ibe Hautekiet, Lucas Noubi Ngnokam, Cihan Çanak, Wilfried Kanga have all been put out of contention, leaving the team’s coach with a more limited set of options at his disposal.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.67, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
