Westerlo - Standard Liège predictions

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Westerlo on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

Standard Liège are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 2.62 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

Westerlo fans were quite hopeful during the half-time break in the previous round. The team managed to snatch an early lead against Mechelen , who are a considerably stronger team. Westerlo couldn’t hold on to their advantage in the second half, however, resulting in a narrow away loss (3:2).

Standard Liège’s previous away game versus Sint-Truiden was fairly uneventful, which isn’t necessarily bad for them. Considering their victory was priced at odds of 2.19 with most top bookmakers online, things were expected to go much worse for them.

The first step Westerlo 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.

Given 8 goals conceded in their own net over the past 3 matches, Standard Liège's defensive line is much to be desired.

Standard Liège lost their home game to Westerlo earlier in the season, which was quite an upset at the time. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, though, and will be looking to redeem themselves.

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 1.86 odds offered at 1xbet.
