What to expect
We expect about 1.3 goals from Gent and 1.0 from Standard, so Gent come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.3 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Gent come into this on five straight wins. Standard come into this on three straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Not both teams to score. This shapes up as a quiet, low-key game — around 2.3 goals between the two (xG 1.3-1.0). One side keeping it tight for a clean sheet is well on the cards.
We put the chance of that landing at about 48 out of 100. There is no settled price to hold that up against yet, so treat the call on its own terms.
