Game Prediction
The Belgian Pro League, after the end of the regular season, was divided into groups of teams according to the results shown. Both Westerlo and St. Truiden formally claim a place in the Conference League. In fact, they will simply try to please the fans with a good performance, which will not really affect either of them.
Key statistics and trends:
- The hosts have won only 1 match against this opponent out of 11 previous games, and 7 confrontations brought defeats.
- The hosts haven’t won since mid-February.
- The guests team won only against Mechelen in 2024, losing to everyone else.
Westerlo – the shape of the team and its analysis: almost nothing happens in spring
“De Kemphanen” got into a scandal. They, along with Genk, were accused of violating the integrity of the game – everyone noted that the opponents were openly reduced to a 1-1 draw at the end of the match of the last round in the regular season – a score that suited both the hosts and the guests. Not only the players were punished for the higher mentioned fact, the coach, Rick de Mila, was quickly fired. It is not surprising that a modest club that has achieved in such a situation the main thing, levelling the threat of relegation, is already playing carelessly. Speaking about the games with Gent, Westerlo and Leuven, the club tied at the home arena, losing to everyone else. Still, “the Buffaloes” took revenge on their field in the form of a 3-2 score in the previous round.
St. Truiden – the shape of the team and its analysis: enthusiasm was not enough for continuous performance
“The Canaries” looked serious about competing for a chance to play in the Conference League. Having finished the regular season with a victory, they won the battles against Westerlo at the home arena and Mechelen on the away field in a row. Still, then the team was tripped up by Standard on the native field, and it turned out that Gent had taken the lead after a 0-3 score in the confrontation with Leuven. The reception of the favourite ended in a 0-2 defeat. The draw with Liege, against this background, looks like a kind of progress.
