The current perspective makes the situation plain as day. Given the superiority of Union Saint-Gilloise and the 9.50 odds given to Sint-Truiden to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a stunning upset.

Union Saint-Gilloise will have been pleased with an away point they won in the previous round of the Pro League (HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY). They went against the odds(3.25) to take the first-half lead and surprise the opposing supporters. However, they ultimately failed to withstand the pressure and fell to a draw.

Sint-Truiden held up quite well in their previous match against Standard Liège, given the circumstances. They were visitors against a comparatively stronger opponent, yet they prevented Standard Liège from pulling ahead for 90 minutes, resulting in a 1:1 draw.

Recording more than 5 goals over their past 3 visiting matches, Union Saint-Gilloise are on a roll when it comes to goalscoring. They should do even better on their home turf.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Pro League season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Sint-Truiden. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

Going for a -1.5 Handicap on the favourite’s score is the best way to get some value out of this match. You’ll eliminate the possibility of a draw, for one. More importantly, this way you might actually get a decent payout for backing the stronger team.
