Sint-Truiden hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 33 points and a 12th position in the Pro League table. Visiting Anderlecht holds 8th place with 43 pts.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
0 - 0 - 1 with 2-4. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Anderlecht when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Anderlecht play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
Sint-Truiden are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Anderlecht are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
