Standard Liege vs Anderlecht Predictions

• Anderlecht have seen over 2.5 goals in five of their six away league outings this season.
• The hosts have witnessed at least three goals scored in four of their seven home matches.
• Five of the previous seven meetings at this venue have produced at least three goals.

Inconsistencies a real issue

Standard Liege currently sit in fifth place in the table ahead of this round of fixtures and they are six points adrift of the top four. They’ll be disappointed that they couldn’t find some consistency as of their 13 games, they have won seven but lost five. No side in the top six has conceded more goals than the hosts and if they underestimate Anderlecht, they could be on the wrong side of a thriller.

Anderlecht have had a poor start to the campaign. The 34 times league winners currently sit tenth in the table having lost seven of their 13 matches but their away games have always been entertaining with five of their six road matches all featuring at least three goals scored. They need to go and get a result but they are often caught out defensively and that could cost them here.

Goals look to be the best option

It’s hard to pick a winner but we are expecting goals in this clash and so this one to produce at least three goals in total makes appeal.
