Sint-Truiden form and stats

2-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Pro League numbers at home for Sint-Truiden so far this season.

No payout for Sint-Truiden in their previous match, an away game at Club Brugge that ended in defeat 0-3. Midfielder Hashioka was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.01 (out of ten) in that game. Hashioka hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Sporting Charleroi in a game that was won 2-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Sint-Truiden have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 1 and lost 6.

The Sint-Truiden fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. Sint-Truiden have conceded 9 from these games.

OH Leuven form and stats

The visitors are W3-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Pro League.

OH Leuven lost away at AS Eupen (2-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. As you can tell from the result, the match against AS Eupen was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? González, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.42. González scored two goals.

A 0-1 loss hosting Genk before that.

Leuven are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of 11 matches.

Goal hungry football fans should note that 9 of this team's 11 latest league fixtures have ended with three or more goals.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, OH Leuven are regular goalscorers on their travels. As for defending, Leuven rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 13 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Previous ten meetings featuring these teams: Sint-Truiden won five, OH Leuven were winners in three and we saw two draws. seven games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less. The matches between these teams have had a tendency to be a bit wild, having seen 6 sending-offs from the last ten duels.
