Where it pulls both ways. The prices and the records disagree: the odds board makes it 56% against the records' 34%. On goals, their goals for and against point to a tight game. Their records put over 2.5 goals at 54%, though six of the last nine meetings went under 2.5.
The case against. Not everything agrees on goals. Their goals for and against point to a tight game, and six of the last nine meetings went under 2.5.
The read. No firm call: Genk are the better side, but not at this price. An open game. Their goals for and against make Genk the likelier winners, and Genk are the stronger side on form and the table. Their records put over 2.5 goals at 54%.
The bets. Best bet: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.18, 75% on the records (Genk: over 1.5 goals in 8 of 10; Standard Liege: over 1.5 goals in 8 of 10). Backup: 2nd Half - Over/Under: Over 0.5 at 1.17. It often rescues the bet, but it is no guarantee. Leave: Under 4.5 Goals (no unders on an open read); Under 5.5 Goals (no unders on an open read).
