St. Liege open their First Division A campaign at home against Cercle Brugge KSV in round 1. Pre-season form is mixed for both sides: Liege won 2 of their last 5 friendlies but conceded in 4 of those 5 games, leaking 7 goals in total. Cercle arrive in worse shape, with 0 wins in 5, 13 goals conceded and not a single clean sheet across their last 5 outings.
The key numbers push toward goals. Cercle have seen BTTS land in 4 of their last 5 matches, and over 2.5 goals in 4 of those 5 as well. Liege conceded in 4 of 5 pre-season games. The one head-to-head on record also finished with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals. Over 2.5 is priced at 1.95, BTTS YES at 1.80.
The model leans to BTTS YES at 1.80. Cercle have scored in 4 of 5 recent games and have not kept a clean sheet, while Liege's defence has been exposed repeatedly. Two injured players for the hosts add further uncertainty. Confidence is modest given it is round 1 and all data comes from friendlies.
