There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Pro League match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Antwerp, so at least Zulte-Waregem are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Sint-Truiden, who have the fewest points (2) away in Pro League, only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws. Three has not been a lucky number for Sint-Truiden as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Waasland-Beveren match. Sint-Truiden seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Home advantage was not enough for Sint-Truiden in their previous game, as they lost their Pro League-match, hosting Sporting Charleroi, 1-2. Prior to that match, the Sint-Truiden manager K. Muscat faced defeat when travelling to Club Brugge and losing 0-1.
