🔮 Prediction

We feel that Standard Liège should stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

At the other end, Cercle Brugge could well find it tough to make a breakthrough although we do reckon that they could well end up converting at least once here, too.

Our tip is for a 3-1 margin for Standard Liège at the conclusion of the game.
