1 - 0 - 0 with 2-0. 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 top positions and their benefits.

Sint-Truiden form and stats

6 victories, 3 draws and 7 defeats. That’s what Sint-Truiden have to build on here at Stayen in the Pro League.

The fans are hoping that Sint-Truiden will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the Pro League game against Genk (placed 2nd). In the preceding match a 4-2 victory visiting Waasland-Beveren.

As you see from the result above, Sint-Truiden suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Yuma Suzuki for missing a penalty kick versus Genk in the 41st minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

The Sint-Truiden fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 16 matches. 19 goals have been conceded.
