Omonia vs Sint-Truiden: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Nicosia became the national champion this spring after a five-year break. The new season in Cyprus will only begin this weekend. So, they initially played in the Champions League, but only managed encounters with Kairat: after 1-0 wins, they lost in a penalty shootout. And with Lincoln Red Imps in the Europa League, they also struggled: 1-1 in Gibraltar, 1-0 at home.
The team from Sint-Truiden was among the leaders in the Pro League in 2025/2026 but ultimately lost out to the favorites, Club Brugge and Royal Union. In the current season, the start has been mediocre: draws with Lommel (1-1 at home) and Cercle Brugge (they had a two-goal lead away, but it ended 3-3).
In Belgium, everything was heading for a goalless draw. But in the 90+ minute, the hosts finally scored to secure the victory—now their main task is not to lose the return leg.
