Standard Liège form and stats

4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Standard Liège playing as the away team in the Pro League this season. Two points from the last two away games for Standard Liège, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Impressive finishing from Ohio and Laifis secured the home win 2-0 against Mechelen in their previous game. Those three points felt nice as this team had gone five league rounds without victory. Laifis, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.12. Laifis scored one goal and won 3 of 5 duels.

Before that, Standard Liège travelled to RFC Seraing and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

Highlight this: 10 of the last 13 league fixtures involving this side have ended with only one (or no) side scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting words).

Standard are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 10 games (in the league). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Standard Liège have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.
