Match Preview
As Standard Liège prepares to host Dender at the Stade Maurice Dufrasne on Saturday, the home side will be looking to build on their mixed recent form. With two wins and two draws in their last five matches, Standard has shown resilience, but consistency remains a concern. Dender, on the other hand, is struggling significantly, having failed to secure a win in their last five outings, which includes three losses. This disparity in form could play a crucial role in the outcome of the match.
Historically, the head-to-head encounters between these two teams suggest a competitive edge for Standard, who have won three of the last ten meetings, while Dender has managed two victories. Notably, four of those matches ended with both teams scoring, indicating that Dender can pose a threat despite their current struggles. The odds suggest a strong likelihood of a home win, but with Dender desperate for points, the potential for a high-scoring affair is plausible. Betting on both teams to score (BTTS Yes at 1.9) could be a worthwhile angle, given the attacking capabilities of both sides.
