THE LOWDOWN
SINT-TRUIDEN
Sint-Truiden are one of the teams that are expected to be concerned and worried about the reduction of the Belgian Jupiler Pro League from 18 to 16 teams over the summer. They finished in mid-table last season and will be looking over their shoulder with the bottom-half of the table and the teams that could struggle becoming more congested.
They have started this season with three victories, four draws and four defeats in their opening 11 matches. The home team come into this on the back of a four-match winless run of form which has been extended by back-to-back 4-0 defeats either side of the international break against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise and Oud-Heverlee Leuven.
RWDM
Racing White Daring Molenbeek are one of the teams within the John Textor ownership model, alongside the likes of Botafogo, Crystal Palace and Olympique Lyonnais. Over the summer, RWDM appointed Claudio Cacapa as their new manager, who had been an assistant to Lyon and a caretaker at Botafogo.
The visitors come into this on the back of a 1-1 draw at home to Westerlo, continuing their winless run of form to five matches. They begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting just outside of the bottom four and the end of season relegation round playoffs after what had been a steady start to the campaign.
THE TEAM NEWS
SINT-TRUIDEN
Thorsten Fink will be able to name an unchanged side for this weekend’s encounter against RWDM with only Japanese international Shinji Okazaki unavailable due to injury.
PREDICTED XI (3-4-2-1): Suzuki; Van Helden, Smets, Godeau; Hashioka, Ito, Delorge-Knieper, Bocat; Steuckers, Koita; Kaya
UNAVAILABLE: Okazaki (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE:
RWDM
RWDM will be without Kylian Hazard due to an ACL injury sustained a couple of weeks ago as well as Alexis de Sart and Florian Le Joncour being doubts.
PREDICTED XI (3-4-1-2): Defourny; Heris, Sissako, Segovia; Camara, Dwomoh, Da Silva, Abner; Reine-Adelaide; Gueye, Mboup
UNAVAILABLE: Hazard (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: de Sart (Injured), Le Joncour (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
These are two evenly matched sides, as suggested by the fact that they are level on points sitting just outside of the bottom four. What is another thing that they have in common is their current low-scoring tendencies, with the two sides managing just 11 and 12 goals, respectively. Given that they are both out of form and struggling down in the bottom-half of the table, a low-scoring encounter with under 2.5 goals seems likely for this one.
TIP: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
