Sint-Truiden form and stats
As the visiting team in Pro League matches, Sint-Truiden, who have the most conceded goals (32) away in Pro League, have produced an overall stat of 5-0-9 so far. Three has not been a lucky number for Sint-Truiden as they have been defeated three times in a row since the AS Eupen match. Sint-Truiden has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Home advantage was not enough for Sint-Truiden in their previous game, as they lost their Pro League-match, hosting Mechelen, 0-3. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Gent wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.
We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Sint-Truiden played away with similar odds. This revealed four games. The visitors overcame the odds to win one time, zero were draws and the home team won as expected three times.
Sint-Truiden find the net regularly in their away games. 16 goals from 14 away fixtures in the league. The Sint-Truiden manager M. Kostič has some worries about the defense as 32 goals have been conceded in these travels.
