Club Brugge vs Standard Liege is one of the standout fixtures of Matchday 24 in this engrossing Jupiler Pro League season.
The hosts are desperate to bounce back from last weekend’s 1-0 loss at leaders Union Saint-Gilloise, while Standard are still eyeing a spot in the Championship Round places.
It should be yet another fascinating Pro League game in the heart of Bruges, and here is our full sports betting preview for Club Brugge vs Standard Liege, featuring odds and tips for your weekend football bets online.
Club Brugge vs Standard Liege Preview
Club Brugge’s aforementioned loss at USG was their second defeat in three Pro League matches.
Prior to beating Zulte Waregem 4-3 on home soil, Ivan Leko’s men lost 3-2 at the Jan Breydel Stadium vs La Louviere.
So the home form domestically has been a bit of an issue since the resumption of the season following the extended winter break.
Club Brugge did enjoy a 3-0 home win over Marseille on Matchday 8 of the Champions League, though, which ultimately secured their spot in the play-offs – where a two-legged tie vs Atletico Madrid awaits them.
The performance against Marseille is one they must look to emulate for Standard’s latest visit, because the side from Liege can be tricky customers on their day.
Standard beat Anderlecht 2-0 last weekend, though the match before saw them lose 4-0 at home to a resurgent Gent side.
But Standard have actually been better away from home this season, recording five wins in 11 matches on the road compared to four wins from 12 in Liege.
It is certainly an interesting comparison, one the Club Brugge squad will likely be well aware of.
When the two sides met earlier in the season, Club Brugge secured a 2-1 win in dramatic style, striker Romeo Vermant netting the winner in stoppage time after early goals from Rafiki Said and Christos Tzolis.

Club Brugge vs Standard Liege Betting Tips
Both teams to score – No @ 1.85
We expect Club Brugge to get on the scoresheet here, but Standard may struggle from an attacking standpoint. Despite sitting eighth in the table, Standard are the joint-second lowest scorers in the division with only 20 goals in 23 matches. With Club Brugge likely to dominate possession on home soil and limit the visitors’ chances, we cannot look past this BTTS selection.
Bet Builder: Club Brugge to win, both teams NOT to score and under 2.5 goals @ 4.10
While Club Brugge’s home games have been high scoring of late, a combined total of 15 goals in the last three across all competitions, that may change here. As such, this three-leg Bet Builder could represent fantastic value, with Standard’s last two away matches vs Dender (0-1) and Charleroi (2-0) featuring under 2.5 goals.
