Value Selections: 18 April, Standard Liege to Shock Charleroi

The Main Pick

Alright, mates, let’s crack on with today’s pick. We’re in the Jupiler Pro League, kicking off on Saturday at 17:15. The model’s favouring Standard Liege, the away team, to nick this one against Charleroi. Now, I’ll be the first to admit, it’s not the sort of shout that jumps out at you. But let’s take a closer look, shall we?

First off, the models are singing from the same hymn sheet here. Both agree that Standard Liege has the highest chance of walking away with the three points. They’re putting Standard Liege’s win probability at a solid 42.6%. That’s higher than Charleroi’s 31.2% and the 24.4% for a draw. Both models are nodding in agreement, which is always a good sign.

Now, let’s talk goals. Standard Liege are expected to put the ball in the net more often, with a sG (signal goals) of 1.64 compared to Charleroi’s 1.22. And if you’re thinking “both teams to score?” the models reckon there’s a 51.5% chance of that happening. But don’t get too excited about an over 2.5 goal fiesta just yet, as that’s only at 48.3%.

Charleroi’s been struggling at home recently, if you’ll pardon the pun. They’re on a bit of a losing streak, with four home games seeing them pick up zero wins. They’ve been conceding goals like it’s going out of fashion, averaging a bit over two per game. On the flip side, Standard Liege have been more disciplined on the road, winning three of their last five away games and keeping a clean sheet in four of them.

So, what’s the deal with the prices? The market’s got Standard Liege at a whopping 4.5, while the model’s fair price is just 2.35. That’s a gap of +91.7%, the price looks wrong, mate. If the model’s right, that’s a fantastic opportunity for a bit of profit.

Pick 3: Super League 1

Over in Super League 1, the model’s favouring the home team, and there’s a story behind it. They’ve been playing with a fire in their bellies lately, and the numbers don’t lie. It’s worth taking a closer look if you’re feeling adventurous.
