National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Sint-Truiden or Meux that keep their silverware dream alive.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Sint-Truiden form and stats
Sint-Truiden was eliminated in the round of 32 last season in the Belgian Cup.Sint-Truiden have collected 8 points from their Pro League home games so far after 2-2-3.
A strong away win for Sint-Truiden against RFC Seraing the last match, as Bruno and Hayashi were on target. Bocat (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.82/10. Bocat served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Westerlo and winning 3-2.Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Pro League game versus Cercle Brugge in only three days. This game is also played here at Stadion Stayen.
Sint-Truiden have conceded 9 in these home matches.
Meux form and stats
Meux's mission in Belgian Cup last season failed in the 2nd round.Home advantage was not enough for Meux in their previous game as they lost hosting Union Namur, 2-4. As you can tell from the result, the match against Union Namur was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Before that, Meux secured a home win against Stade Disonais with the score 1-0.Meux are huge outsiders in this game. Running a check in our games database we found 48 matches where they were as big outsiders as an away team. Results were 19 wins, 21 draws and 8 defeats. Of the defeats, 3 games were lost by at least two goals margin.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Meux manager Casto as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Waremme.
