Standard Liege hosts Gent in round 21 of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Thursday, December 26th at Stade Maurice Dufrasne (Liege)
Standard Liege cannot win in the last five matches in a row. And it lost in the last two of them, in the Belgian Cup and the championship. The team relegated from the Europa League and fell to 5th place in the championship. Mechelen (seventh team) is only four points behind. But if you take into account that there are 10 rounds to play in the main draw of the championship, it is a very little margin.

Gent is holding a great season. It reached the playoffs of the Europa League. The team is in third place in the championship and lags behind leading Brugge by only six points. But in the last two rounds of the championship, Gent earned only one point. A draw against the leader can be safely put into an asset. But what about the loss to Oostende, which is 14th in the standings? In fairness, it should be noted that this was only the fourth loss of the Buffaloes in the tournament. The goal difference is impressive - 39-23 after 20 rounds. And this is more than three goals on average per match.
The goal difference of Standard is also good. 37-22, that is, also almost three goals on average per match. So I will focus on the scoring of both teams. They were not convincing recently. Gent played with Over 2.5 goals scored 11 times. Standard showed such an outcome in 13 matches. When meeting with each other, the rivals forget about the defense, and the whole crowd runs to score. The last six head-to-head matches ended with Over 2.5 goals scored. The tactics of both opponents – to play attack first, which is confirmed by 40 goals scored by each of them. And they are likely to score three goals for two once again.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
