It's still early in the Pro League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Sint-Truiden - Antwerp preview!

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Antwerp have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 0-1-1 (win-draw-loss) from two matches.
