All 5 of their matches have seen over 2.5 goals, 3 of 5 have had over 1.5 goals in the first half, and 4 of 5 have had over 1.5 in the second half. Dender most frequently scores between the 31st-45th and 76th-90th minutes (29% each), while conceding most often between the 46th-60th minutes (36%). Standard Liège, on the other hand, follows a low-scoring trend: average total goals - 1.2, scoring 0.6 and conceding the same. Only 1 of their 5 matches had over 2.5 goals, 1 of 5 had over 1.5 in the first half, and none had over 1.5 in the second. Standard Liège scores most frequently in the second half: 46th-60th and 76th-90th minutes (50% each). They concede most in the 31st-45th minute (50%). Thus, Dender consistently plays high-scoring games, while Standard Liège is very cautious with minimal goals. The balance between these profiles and the high probability of a draw suggest going for a double chance on Standard Liège, given their more reliable defense and low-scoring matches. The double chance X2 at 1.50 seems the safest bet, considering Standard Liège has lost only once in their last five matches, while Dender, despite their high scoring, often drops points.

Corners: Numbers and Possible Bets

For corners, Dender averages 2.6 in their last 5 games, while Standard Liège averages 4. This totals 6.6, noticeably below the standard totals. For the frequency of over 9.5 corners: only 1 of Dender's 5 matches went over, and 2 of Standard Liège's 5 matches did. The total closest to the average is 7.5-8.5. For a total of 8.5, the odds are: over 8.5 - 1.64, under 8.5 - 2.17. Betting on over 8.5 corners seems logical, considering both teams can increase this stat in matches against evenly matched opponents. Dender is the favorite for corners with odds of 1.85. Overall, a bet on a moderate total of corners or a win for Dender in this component seems justified based on current figures.
