Football – Belgium – Pro League Betting Tips
Standard Liege will be looking for their third win of the Play-Offs II division when they play host to Waasland-Beveren at their Stade Maurice Dufrasne ground this evening and in turn reduce the four point deficit they currently face behind leaders Kortrijk.
Standard Liege’s overall record in the play-off phase stands at 2-1-2 6/5 having recorded wins over Waasland-Beveren (away from home) and a crushing 4-1 home win over Mouscron-Peruwelz and they know they must keep their nerve this evening to stay in the hunt for the solitary Europa League spot on offer.
Striker Santini (10 goals) is their leading goalscorer, and Standard Liege have won three of their last four on home turf in recent times with wins over Sporting Charleroi, Genk and Mouscron.
Visitors Waasland-Beveren registered an important 1-0 home win over Mouscron-Peruwelz last weekend which ended a run of six matches without a win in the Belgian top flight, but it appears as though they’ll be battling it out with the aforementioned Mouscron for the Play-Off Division II wooden spoon.
Just two away wins from their last 11 on their travels tells its own story, and they lost 1-0 last time out away at Standard Liege during the regular season. They may perhaps still also be haunted by their 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Kortrijk in their last away match, so the first goal here tonight could play an important part in deciding tonight’s outcome.
