Match Preview
Standard Liege enters this contest looking for much needed consistency in front of their home supporters. They have managed to gather six points from their last five fixtures but the attacking output remains a significant concern for the management staff and the local fans alike.
The squad has struggled to find any real rhythm lately with 43% of their matches ending without a single goal scored by them. This lack of offensive threat could be a deciding factor against a Gent side that likes to play on the front foot.
Still, the hosts have seen both teams score in 60% of their games at the Maurice Dufrasnestadion. This statistic suggests that while they might struggle to win matches, they often find themselves in entertaining battles that could go either way if they start sharp.
Gent arrives in Liege sitting in 6th position and feeling relatively confident after picking up seven points from their most recent five games. They are currently on a two match unbeaten run and have shown they possess the clinical edge needed to win tough games.
The visitors have been involved in very high scoring matches recently with their last six games ending with at least two goals on the board. Their away form has been patchy, but their ability to score remains their biggest weapon in this league.
Even so, the defense must improve if they want to secure a European spot as they concede nearly two goals per away game. We expect another open encounter where Free Jupiler Pro League Predictions point toward a high probability of goals for both sides involved.
