SK Beveren
- SK Beveren have won 1 of their last 5 competitive games and lost their last two.
- SK Beveren are in the bottom half of the Pro League 2026/2027 table (13th) on three points from four games.
- Tim Bakens has been SK Beveren's coach since 1 July 2026 and he has clearly been building a compact, pragmatic team that looks to be built to nick games with organisation and counter attacks.
- Bakens has been able to call upon a decent number of players to get the job done in a 4-4-2 low block that should look to congest the middle third and make the game as ugly as possible for Sint-Truidense's players.
K. Sint-Truidense
- K. Sint-Truidense have won 3 of their last 5 games (L2) and hit back from a 3-0 home loss to Union St.-Gilloise with a 4-0 mauling of RAAL La Louviere.
- K. Sint-Truidense are in the top half (7th) on eight points from five games.
- Frederic De Meyer's team have been a lot more high-pressing and positive in 4-2-3-1 since he took charge on 1 July 2026, although they have been unable to keep a shutout on the road.
- Sint-Truidense's record in Pro League 2026/2027 is unblemished away from home so far with one win and one draw from two trips, but they have conceded four goals at an average of 2.00 per game.
Key Players
- Samed Bazdar has 4 goals in 3 Pro League 2026/2027 games and 4 of Sint-Truidense's last 11 goals.
- Ryan Merlen has been a superb playmaker for Sint-Truidense this season, getting the assists on four of their last 11 goals.
- Chris Lokesa has provided some spark up front for Beveren in the Pro League 2026/2027 with one goal in four.
Betting Insights
- A slightly superior Sint-Truidense edge this and the bookmakers odds make them the marginal favorites at 2.54, but we still feel the away team look the more likely winner here and Beveren are 2.63.
- Our recommendation to back Sint-Truidense draw no bet is a little more generous, but still makes good sense on the back of an unbeaten away record and superior stats up front and behind the forward line.
Prediction
- Expect a chess match at Freethiel Stadion with De Waaslanders looking to shut up shop and De Kanaries looking to open it up.
- We still feel the away team look the more likely winner here.
