STANDARD V LEUVEN PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Standard Liege is in the middle of the ranking. They stand in 8^th position, with 6wins, 1 draw and 6 losses, for a total of 19 points. When playing home they have a pretty good record of 4 wins and 2 losses.

Leuven is currently sitting in the 3^rd spot of the league, just two points behind the first two teams. They lost only twice in 13 games, won 6 times, and drew 5 times. When they have to travel, their record is a bit more average but still good, with 2 wins, 3 draws and one loss.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Standard Liege is in good shape. They won 3 of their 5 last games, and the two losses were away. So they will try and keep that positive run on their pitch. In the last fixture, they brought back a nice 2-0 winning from Genk, which is usually a solid home team. So now, that needs to be confirmed by tacking the 3 points in that one.

Leuven had a very poor beginning of season, as they won only one game in their first 8 games, but it has changed totally now. They are on a very impressive run of 5 wins in a row, with an average of 3.8 goals notched in those last 5 games. They are now the best attack of the Jupiler League.

STANDARD V LEUVEN PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

As the home side, Standard is set at 1.62 with Stan James. The draw is at a nice 4.42 with Pinnacle and Leuven’s win can be found at 6.1 with Betfair. Leuven’s run will start soon or later, but I think their odd is way too high not to be tried.

STANDARD V LEUVEN PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

Standard is given a full goal handicap on this market. Standard Liege -1 is at 2.01 with 188bet, and Leuven +1 is at 1.91 with the same bookmaker. Leuven got beaten only once away, and it was the opening game, so they would have beaten such a handicap 5 times out of 6. So I would put my money on Leuven’s side.

STANDARD V LEUVEN PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

The Over 2.5 goals is big favorite, with an odd of 1.53 with Stan James. The Under 2.5 goals is set at 2.7 with Pinnacle. Standard’s home games have an average of 3.1 goals, and Leuven’s away ones got an average of 3.8. As on most Belgian games, the Over is then advised, but the odd is pretty low, so there’s not much value.
