Sint-Truiden vs Anderlecht Betting Tips

Sint-Truiden’s loss to Westerlo last weekend continued the poor form that they have been suffering since November.

The winter break doesn’t seem to have done the struggling side any good. They returned to action with a goalless draw against Charleroi before losing to second from bottom Westerlo.

This made it five games without a win for Sint-Truiden, with three defeats and two draws making up the results. They have only won one of their last ten competitive matches.

This puts them in 12^th position in the Belgian Pro League with 26 points from 23 matches, just four points more than bottom of the table Mouscron.

Anderlecht find themselves in 3^rd position in the Pro League, two points behind Club Brugge in 2^nd and five points off Gent, who occupy the top spot. These three teams will undoubtedly be vying for the title come May.

Anderlecht returned to action following the winter break with a defeat to the league leaders, but managed to bounce back with a 2-1 win over Sporting-Charleroi last weekend.

This makes it five wins, three draws, and one defeat in Anderlecht’s last nine competitive matches.

They have only lost three times in the Pro League all season, making them the 2^nd hardest team to defeat in the division. However, their eight draws from 23 matches makes them the draw specialists of the Pro League as well, a statistic that indicates they have trouble finishing off matches.

Anderlecht haven’t lost to Sint-Truiden since 2010, with five of their seven meetings since then seeing Anderlecht take maximum points from the fixture.

Anderlecht have struggled a bit away from home this season. They have only won one of their last six away days thanks to their troubles in front of goal. Only one of these games ended with Over 2.5 Goals.

Couple with Sint-Truiden’s unimpressive scoring record of three goals in their last six outings this makes odds of 17/20 for Under 2.5 Goals look good value to me. I’m also going for a 1-0 Anderlecht win at 5/1.
