The Model vs The Result

Historically the two sides average 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Standard Liege 33%, KVC Westerlo 54%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 46%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Standard Liege's trading profile (69 games, 34 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 35% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 45% of games, a blank that repeated today.
