A narrow gap in the table
SK Beveren travel to Maurice Dufrasnestadion on Friday just two points behind Standard Liege, with the sides separated by three places after 10 matches in the Jupiler Pro League. Standard are ninth on 12 points, while Beveren are 12th on 10; both have a chance to improve their position in a closely packed part of the table.
Standard’s overall record stands at three wins, three draws and four defeats, while Beveren have three wins, a draw and six defeats. The gap is small, but their home and away records point to contrasting circumstances: Standard have lost only once in five at home, whereas Beveren have yet to win away.
Both sides seek a lift
Standard are without a win in five league matches, a run that includes four defeats and a draw. They have scored five goals and conceded 10 across that stretch, and their most recent league outing ended level.
Beveren’s current winless run is four matches. Their last five league games have brought a win, a draw and three defeats, with eight goals scored and 10 conceded; their latest match was a loss.
The difference between their home and away numbers may matter. Standard have taken two wins and two draws from five home league games, conceding just four goals. Beveren have taken one point from five away matches and conceded 15, without keeping a clean sheet on the road.
Recent meetings favour Standard
Standard have won four of the last five meetings across competitions, with Beveren winning once and no draws. The latest encounter came in the cup in October 2025, when Standard won 2-1 away from home.
The home edge and the key threat
Standard’s home defensive record gives them a platform, but their recent run makes a response essential. Beveren have scored eight times in their last five league games, so they retain a threat even as they look to end their away struggles.
The standings underline the importance of the meeting: a win for Beveren would bring them closer to Standard, while the home side can strengthen its advantage over a nearby rival.
Our prediction
Standard’s stronger home record and Beveren’s five-match winless away record point towards the hosts, despite Standard’s own difficult run. PreviaXI’s model favours a narrow home victory, with both teams likely to find a way through.
Standard Liege 2-1 SK Beveren
