Sint-Truiden form and stats

Sint-Truiden have played three Pro League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Sint-Truiden, their manager B. Hollerbach and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Sint-Truiden are confident in defense, having played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
