Standard Liege
- Standard Liege have won three, drawn two and lost two of their seven home league games.
- Vincent Euvrard, the Standard boss since late August, has installed a three-at-the-back system that has seen the club play with a pragmatic approach to their attacking moves.
- The focus on structure first and attacking second has seen the Mauves set up in a 3-4-1-2 or 3-5-2 with wing-backs providing width, while the central midfielders cover the middle of the pitch and allow them to switch between the two systems as needed, which is important for our Standard Liege vs Zulte-Waregem betting tips consideration.
Zulte-Waregem
- Zulte-Waregem have drawn each of their last three First Division A away games.
- The Esel have played a more vertical style, usually in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, and have employed high pressing to force the opposition into turnovers and transitions where they can be lethal on the counter with their pacey wingers. This could play a significant role in the Standard Liege vs Zulte-Waregem prediction.
Head-to-Head
Both sides have scored in the most recent meeting between these clubs, which was a 2-2 tie at the Stade Maurice Dufrasne in the 2022/2023 season.
Key Players
- Jeppe Erenbjerg
- Zulte’s Jeppe Erenbjerg is the in-form goal scorer for the visitors with seven in 14 league appearances and he has three of the club’s last seven goals.
- Rafiki Said
- Rafiki Said, with three, has two of the hosts’ last three and could be a value pick to get on the scoresheet, which may be worth considering as part of your Standard Liege vs Zulte-Waregem betting tips.
Betting Insights
- But the bookies are siding with the hosts to win this match at 2.23 while Zulte are 3.15 and the draw 3.54.
- Both teams to score looks a great bet at 1.63, with over 2.5 goals available at 1.82.
- Standard are slightly under the odds given they have won their last three home games and Zulte have drawn their last three on the road.
Prediction
Standard's win may not be a walk in the park and there may be goals at both ends, but the Mauves have been strong at home lately, winning three straight at the stadium and they should be able to beat Zulte again.
