First Division A Betting at Bet Victor
Standard Liege Prediction
Standard Liege sit in 4th place on the First Division A league ladder and three points ahead of their visitors, Anderlecht thanks to a solid run of recent form which has seen the hosts put together a six-match unbeaten sequence that includes four wins against Zulte-Waregem, Oostende, Sporting Charleroi and Kortrijk.
However, the hosts still trail league leaders Genk by a massive 14-point margin, so the best that the hosts can hope for at this stage is to ensure they remain in the top six and make it through to the Championship Round stages.
Standard Liege hold a solid home record though with stats of 7-3-1 22/11 which includes winning their last four matches on the trot at home, scoring 12 goals and conceding just 3 in reply during this impressive winning streak.
- Standard Liege are unbeaten in their last 6 matches
- Standard Liege have won their last 4 home matches on the trot
- Anderlecht have lost their last 4 away matches on the trot
Anderlecht Prediction
Visitors Anderlecht sit just one league position below their hosts but are three points adrift as they make their way to Liege to face an in-form Standard Liege outfit. Anderlecht will also be very aware of the chasing teams behind them such as Sint-Truiden who are just one point behind them, along with Sporting Charleroi who are three points adrift.
Anderlecht owe much of their current league position though to their form at their Stade Constant Vanden Stock where they’ve registered 7 wins from their 11 matches on home soil, but results away from home have been less convincing.
An away record of 4-0-7 16/19 includes having lost their last four away matches on the trot with defeats at Sint-Truiden, Cercle Brugge, Royal Excel Mouscron and Gent, and the visitors have gained just one win from their last six on their travels.
In addition, Anderlecht have failed to keep a single clean sheet on the road this season, and as they’re coming up against a Standard Liege side who have found the net on a regular basis in recent times at home, this could be a long afternoon for the visitors
Betting Tips Verdict
Standard Liege hold a solid record at home and should account for Anderlecht here.
