- Wouter Vrancken’s side have moved into the second spot in the First Division A with 54 points from 26 games and look to be genuine title contenders this year.
- The visitors are enjoying an up surge in form with 3 consecutive wins, following their 3-2 victory at home to Zulte Waregem and 4-1 away demolition of FCV Dender EH last weekend.
- Vrancken has brought stability, structure and a practical edge to this St.Truiden team, who look to be playing with renewed unity and purpose.
