Standard Liège form and stats

With 1 Pro League win, 2 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Standard Liège are certainly not brimming with confidence.

A good away victory last time out for Standard Liège, who won 1-0 against Royal Excel Mouscron.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Cercle Brugge that finished 1-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
