Antwerp vs Standard Liege Prediction
Antwerp have kept three clean sheets in their last four home games but have not been able to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 meetings against the visitors. Both teams have endured a poor run in their recent games, but given Standard's dominance in their previous meetings against the hosts, we expect them to eke out a narrow win.
