Fortune could favour St. Liege U23

There's been previews by analysts embellishing the visitors but that short price is grotesque.

St. Liege U23 backers will look at Lierse Kempenzonen's recent results for evidence that they are there for the taking. Losses have slowly been stacking up for this group of away players over their last 12 fixtures. They've lost 8 of them. This doesn't look like the recent record of a side that deserve to be as short as this.

It won't surprise anyone to see them have too much for St. Liege U23 but this isn't a formality and a home win looks a fair suggestion.

St. Liege U23 will need to quickly find their top gear to have any chance. They scored at least once in all of their recent 5 matches.

There have been passages of play when Lierse Kempenzonen have lacked the requisite discipline under pressure. They have conceded two or more goals in 12 of their last 17 matches. And the home side will be looking for evidence that this might not be one-way traffic. Their fans will have faith in them. Goal scoring chances are proving elusive for the visitors. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 7 away matches.

In fairness it might be a big enough surprise to see the hosts come away having shared the spoils. Most observers believe that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Lierse Kempenzonen. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that seems the better option. In the total goals market, it's no more than one goal for this one after weighing up the chances of all outcomes.
