Match description
I predict a home win (Standard Liège). Standard scored 7 goals in the last 5 matches and averages 1.6 points per game in that period, while Royal Antwerp scored 5 goals and only 0.8 points per game. At home Standard generates 1.26 xG and an average of 3.56 shots on target per match, compared to 1.12 xG and 3.31 shots on target away for Antwerp; shot conversion is 9% for the hosts vs 7% for the visitors. Antwerp has a slightly better goals-against average away (1.00 conceded vs 1.25 conceded by Standard at home), but the visitors failed to score in 56% of away matches versus only 31% of home matches without a goal for Standard, which significantly weakens their chances. Considering 1.6 pts vs 0.8 pts in the last 5 matches, the hosts’ 2-2-1 form vs the visitors’ 1-1-3 and Standard’s advantage in xG and conversion, I assign 56% to a home win, 28% to a draw and 16% to an Antwerp win.
