Standard Liège form and stats

1-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Pro League numbers at home for Standard Liège so far this season. Standard Liège has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager M. Leye and the players.

Standard Liège are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Mechelen. The forward João Klauss was named "man of the match" for Standard with the rating of 7.32/10. Klauss hit the woodwork once and hit one key pass.

Before that game, the home loss against Sint-Truiden with the scoreline 1-2.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Standard Liège matches with similar probabilities have ended with zero wins, one draw and zero defeats (from one game).

Standard are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 games. Standard Liège have conceded 9 from these games.

OH Leuven form and stats

The visitors are W0-D3-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Pro League.

Leuven's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Beerschot-Wilrijk that finished 0-0. Goalkeeper Rafael Romo got the top player rating of the team with 8.0/10. Romo stopped the opponent with four saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that, OH Leuven travelled to Club Brugge and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Leuven when being an outsider away as they are today, we find five matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing two and winning one game.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Leuven as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. The OH Leuven manager M. Brys has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Data for the preceeding ten meetings between these two teams are: six wins for Standard, three draws and one win for OH Leuven. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
