Sint-Truiden - Antwerp predictions

Beating Antwerp will not be easy, but we believe Sint-Truiden are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

Antwerp should be able to win this one, but such an outcome won’t come easily. The 2.39 betting odds on them winning indicate that it will be a close match - Sint-Truiden are no pushovers.

The home team lost their previous home game, which was a bit of a surprise at the time. The odds were clearly in their favour, but they were unable to break the stalemate until the visiting team secured the deciding goal in the second half. More was expected from Sint-Truiden, and their supporters are hoping they’ll leave a better impression this time around.

Antwerp are coming on the back of a 3:2 home victory against Westerlo in the previous round. Still, their performance in that match was somewhat unconvincing, especially after their opponents took the lead in the first half.

With 7 goals in Antwerp’s net over their three most recent home games, online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of ending this game one with a clean sheet.

The first time they matched with Sint-Truiden, Antwerp ended the match with a lead of more than two goals. They’re playing as the away team this time, but most bookies are pricing their victory at 2.39, which makes them the favourites.

The visitors may be expected to win, but they’ll have to do so without Michel Ange Balikwisha, Björn Engels, Jelle Bataille. This tips the scales slightly in the hosts’ favour, but not by much.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.83 odds offered at Pncl.
