The league table in Pro League tells a story about these teams so far, with Gent leading Sint-Truiden by 20 points. Match preview to follow:
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Europa League match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Roma.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Sint-Truiden have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 12-10-17 (win-draw-loss) from 39 matches.
Sint-Truiden are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Gent form and stats
Gent, who have the most scored goals (54) in Pro League, have been outstanding at home so far in the Pro League with 10 wins, 3 draws and only 0 losses.
Gent are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Roma. Before that match, a Pro League win away at AS Eupen.
Gent are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found eleven matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won ten, drew one and lost zero.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Europa League game versus Roma in only four days. This game is also played here at GHELAMCO-arena.
Goals are plentiful at GHELAMCO-arena in the league this season as Gent has scored 33 goals here in 13 home games. Gent are not conceding a lot of goals here at GHELAMCO-arena in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 13 matches.
Sint-Truiden form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Pro League travels is 5 wins, 0 draws and 8 defeats.
The manager M. Kostič was unhappy after their last game, a Pro League match played at their home ground Stayen. Sint-Truiden suffered a 0-1 loss to Cercle Brugge (placed 16th). A loss against Cercle Brugge was the result prior to that, in a home game.
We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Sint-Truiden played away with similar odds. This revealed three games. The visitors overcame the odds to win one time, zero were draws and the home team won as expected two times.
Sint-Truiden have scored 15 goals on their travels this season, from 13 away games in the league. Sint-Truiden have conceded 28 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Sint-Truiden - Gent 0-0. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - one - three (Gent wins - draws - Sint-Truiden wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.Top Goalscorers
