Standard Liege vs Gent Preview
After just one win in their previous 12 Jupiler Pro League outings, Standard Liege find themselves hovering just three points above the relegation playoffs. They are at real risk of finishing in the bottom four provided their form doesn’t improve from now until the end of the campaign.
Following a very strong start to the season, Gent’s form plateaued before taking a dive in recent months. Despite this, they are still in a good position to qualify for the Championship Playoffs. They currently sit in seventh place, only kept out of the top six as a result of their inferior goal difference to Genk.
Gent drew 2-2 with Champions Antwerp last weekend, meaning they have now won just one game in the last 10 across all competitions. They have also lost three of their previous four away games, with their only win coming against 15th-place Eupen.
St. Liege have traditionally been a strong home team. However, they have collected just 17 points from 13 home matches this season. But they will take confidence from their solid defensive record on home soil. Antwerp are the only team to have conceded fewer goals at home than Liege.

Standard Liege vs Gent Betting Tips
Under 2.5 goals – 1.88
No stadium has seen fewer goals than Standard Liege’s this season. Just 20 goals have been scored in 13 games there, at an average of 1.5 per game. This match could well be decided by a single goal.
Draw – 3.38
While Liege are having a fairly torrid season, they have been better at home in recent months. Gent aren’t exactly firing on all cylinders themselves, and while there is a big points different in the league, we think it will be a very close affair this weekend.
