Westerlo - Standard Liège predictions

Westerlo are easily the favourites in the match this Sunday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 1.86 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Standard Liège may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

The odds are stacked heavily against Standard Liège here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Westerlo are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.13.

No-one expected Westerlo’s incredible performance in the previous round – least of all their opponents. Despite overwhelming odds and a home-field disadvantage, Westerlo took the lead in the first half and turned it into a decisive 0:3 away victory against Sint-Truiden .

The visiting team are here on the back of a somewhat disappointing draw. They had the home-field advantage for that bout, and their supporters were hoping that would be enough for them to overcome Mechelen. Unfortunately for them, the whole game was a protracted stalemate, ending with 1:1 on the scoreboard.

The hosts will hopefully perform better than what we’ve seen from their away games. The 5 concessions they recorded over the past 3 away games has some fans reeling.

The betting odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, and the last time they clashed with Standard Liège things went their way. In fact, they snagged a decisive victory with an advantage of more than two goals.

This Sunday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 3.67 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as Pncl.
