Zulte-Waregem vs Standard Liège: match statistics

145%(2.10)
X30%(3.40)
225%(3.50)

Zulte-Waregem demonstrates solid home form with a 38% win rate and only 23% of matches without a goal scored at their home ground. The hosts average 1.38 goals scored and 1.38 goals conceded in home matches, resulting in a balanced goal difference (0). Standard Liège has poor away efficiency – as many as 54% of matches end without a goal scored, and an average of just 0.85 goals per away game is very low. Additionally, the visitors have a negative goal difference away from home (-5) and only a 46% win rate, indicating difficulties playing on the road. The recent form of both teams (Zulte: 0.6 PPG, Standard: 1.6 PPG) suggests an overall advantage for the visitors, but Standard's weakness away from home and the hosts' advantage on their own turf tips the scales in favor of Zulte-Waregem. Considering all factors, I expect a balanced match with a slight advantage for the hosts.
