Standard Liège vs KAA Gent: match statistics
Statistical analysis indicates very even chances for both teams, pointing towards a draw. Standard Liège shows poor home form with only 30% of matches won and a goal difference of -2, however, KAA Gent has even worse results away with only 20% wins and a goal difference of -8. Both teams have identical points per match in the last five games (1.2 PPG) and a similar percentage of matches without scoring (30% FTS).
