Waasland-Beveren won four out of five recent clashes in the Jupiler League, moreover, they scored three goals in each of two back-to-back encounters: vs. KV Mechelen 3:1 and vs. Lierse 3:2. As a result, the hosts occupy the third place in the standings of the Europa League Group A with 12 points taken being four points behind the leading St. Truiden In 2017 Waasland-Beveren participated in nine fights in face of their fans resulting in six defeats, two draws and only one triumph over Lierse with 3:2 scoreline in the last home battle.

Last round Standard Liege also got victory over KV Mechelen with 2:0 scoreline. Nevertheless, that triumph didn’t help the team from Liege even to drift up from the last position in the table of the Europa League Group A. At the moment the side occupies the sixth place with eight points earned. Generally speaking, Standard Liege have been more suffering rather than playing football since February. On the road “Les Rouches” participated in eight clashes recording one win, three draws and four losses in them.
Historically, Standard Liege faced no difficulties in their head-to-heads against Waasland-Beveren. However, this season the side from Liege showed mediocre results and was broken by Beveren at its own turf with 0:2 score on the 25th of April. Therefore, taking into consideration the rivals’ motivation as well as the home-field advantage, I believe that in the forthcoming fight the hosts will not be beaten by the notable visiting side.
Prediction for the match: Waasland-Beveren to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (1X).
