Command Analysis

Standard Liege

Belgium

Current form

Standard has not participated in the fight for high places for a long time, it seems that this season it will not be possible to compete for medals, since after 25 matches the team occupies only seventh place in the standings. The team is two points behind Gent, which closes the top six. The Liege team is in the top half of the table, but it remains the least productive team in the Major League with 19 goals scored in 25 matches. The year 2025 started just fine for the owners. Ivan Leko's team won three in a row in January, beating Kortrijk (1-0), Sint-Truiden (2-1) and Dender (1-0). Then we managed to achieve a decent result in the away match against Cercle Brugge (1:1). Only after that, the club finally lost, having failed to cope with Westerlo (2:4) on February 9.

Genk

Belgium

Current form

Last season, the visitors finished only in fifth place, but now Genk has suddenly become the main contender for the championship. The team takes the first place in the standings and is six points ahead of the main pursuer and the reigning champion in the face of Brugge. It's too early to relax, because last season Union had a huge advantage over the final stage of the season, but Brugge still caught up with the competitor and took the title. In the national championship, Torsten Fink's team is on a five-game winning streak. In the last round, we managed a confident home victory over Cercle Brugge (2:1). Before that, Genk was eliminated from the national cup, losing to Brugge in the semifinals." (1:2, 1:1).

Tip and bets

2.15Standard won't lose

Genk managed to win five consecutive matches in the Top League, but most of the opponents were much lower than the Standard. We think that the hosts will have a chance to surprise the relaxed guests, because the team from Liege is showing a great game this winter, especially at their stadium. We believe that the support of the fans will help the hosts defeat the championship leader.

Our forecast is that Standard will not lose in 2.15

1.93total less than 2.5 goals

Bet on the total

The hosts will definitely try to play carefully defensively against the championship leader, besides, Standard rarely manages to play offensively, hence the small number of goals scored. The guests haven't been showing any miracles of performance lately either, and they've been scoring all the wins with a one-goal advantage. Most likely, a stubborn confrontation awaits us here, the outcome of which will be decided by one goal.

Our forecast is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.93

The first half bet

We do not expect that the opponents will move forward with great strength immediately after the kickoff. Obviously, it will take time to take a closer look at each other. In this scenario, a draw is likely based on the results of the first half.

Our forecast is a draw in the first half at 2.30
