Match Preview
As Standard Liège prepares to host Cercle Brugge at the Stade Maurice Dufrasne, both teams come into this Pro League clash with contrasting recent form. Standard, with two wins and three draws in their last five matches, will be looking to build on their solid performances. In contrast, Cercle Brugge has struggled, managing just one win in their last five outings, which includes three losses. This disparity in form could play a crucial role in the match dynamics. Historically, encounters between these two sides have been closely contested, with six of their last ten meetings ending in draws. However, both teams have shown a tendency to score, with five of those matches seeing both teams on the scoresheet. Given the odds, a bet on both teams to score (BTTS) at 1.8 appears to be a promising angle, especially considering Standard's attacking capabilities and Cercle's need to find form. With the home advantage and a strong desire to secure three points, Standard Liège will be keen to assert themselves early in the match.
