Anderlecht vs Sint-Truiden: Team News and Expert Analysis
The historic Brussels side has been unable to reclaim the league title since 2017. Last season, they at least finished fourth. However, in the Europa League, the Belgians lost to Häcken straight away in qualification, and in the Conference League they fell to their second opponent, AEK Athens. They only finished sixth after the first, main stage of the league. In the spring, it was clear their focus was on the cup, but they lost the final to Royal Union 1-3. After that, they only managed a draw with Mechelen.
The visitors from Limburg province were fighting for survival a year ago. Fortunately, they were the best among the four bottom teams at that time. This season, they sensationally managed to keep pace with the top favourites for a long time. Eventually, they dipped in the spring and finished third in the main stage standings. Still, they have performed fairly well in the "championship group", although not always. They lost only to Brugge and then drew with Gent.
The capital's side have nearly balanced stats: 1.45 goals scored per game and 1.47 conceded. The season's biggest surprise have 1.5 goals scored and 1.13 conceded on average.
