Standard Liege vs Antwerp: Over 2.5 goals
Standard Liege’s 2.0 xG at home meets Antwerp’s 3.0 away xG, and the model flags an 87% chance of more than 2.5 goals.
Both clubs have shown contrasting recent form: Liege have steadied after two draws to notch back‑to‑back wins, while Antwerp have slipped from a two‑match winning streak to a draw and a heavy loss.
Lars's Verdict
Expect more than two and a half goals as the combined xG of 5.0 translates into a high-scoring affair.
Show the maths
With Standard Liege averaging 2.0 expected goals and Antwerp averaging 3.0, the model gives a 81.8% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 18.2% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Combined expected goals of 5.0 (Standard Liege 2.0 + Antwerp 3.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 87.1% chance against 12.9% for Under.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Standard Liege at 24.7%, the draw at 16.8%, and Antwerp at 58.1% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-2 at 6.1% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Standard Liege opened with a 2-2 draw against Cercle Brugge at home, then a 3-3 away draw with KV Mechelen, before securing a 2-0 home win over RAAL La Louvière and a 2-1 away victory at OH Leuven.
