Standard Liege to beat Oud-Heverlee Leuven @ 2.64
With Standard Liege only a point from the Championship play-off places, they will be more determined than ever to grab a home win this weekend when OHL visit. But with both in inconsistent form, it is anyone’s game, especially as the away side are locked in a fierce relegation battle, from which they will want to withdraw their names as soon as possible. But we still give the home side the advantage this weekend.
Gent to beat Sint Truidense @ 1.81
Gent sit sixth in the table, level on points with Union Saint-Gilloise, so a victory when STVV visit is imperative. However, the away side will want a victory to give them the boost they need to avoid fading away into the middle of the pack. But we are backing the hosts to end their run of two Pro League matches without victory.
Royal Antwerp to beat Charleroi @ 1.91
Charleroi are by no means out of the race to qualify for the Championship play-offs and will look to dig in against third-placed Antwerp. This is a game where they could be a real stumbling block for the title hopefuls. And Antwerp are experiencing a dip in form, picking up points in just three of their last five, so they will want to bounce back with a statement win this weekend. And in our opinion, this is exactly what they will do.
Union Saint Gilloise to beat Cercle Brugge @ 1.83
Cercle seem to be resigned to finishing in the Relegation play-off places, losing their last three games and in much worse form than they hoped. But only three points from safety, they could get a massive boost with a shock win this weekend. Visitors USG will have no time for Cercle’s survival dream, though, with title aspirations of their own to worry about. And without a loss in their last four, we think USG are in a perfect position to take all three points on Sunday.
