Sint-Truiden might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match.

A 0-0 draw at Genk's stadium before that.

Sint-Truiden's manager Hollerbach has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 1 conceded goal. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
