Standard Liege vs Eupen Prediction
Standard Liege have been out of form throughout the season and their inconsistency has left them a long way off where they would have planned to be at this stage. Leko Ivan's side's games have typically been compact and cagey, although their bluntness in attack, particularly in front of their fans has been a cause for concern.
Eupen, for their part, have the threat of relegation on their minds. Florian Kohfeldt's side's victory over St. Truiden ended a six-game losing streak in which they failed to score a single goal, conceding 11.
Standard Liege have been the historically superior side in this fixture and despite their poor form, they will be expected to triumph here. We are backing the hosts to claim a narrow win in addition to a clean sheet.
