Competition: Belgium Pro League
market: Antwerp draw no bet
Odds: 8/11 @ Pribate
Looking for back-to-back wins in the Pro League on Friday night, Antwerp will travel to Stein when they meet St. Truiden.
Starting with the hosts, St Truiden may have won a much-needed 2-1 win at Westerloe earlier in the month, with Felice Mazzu’s side coming back down to earth last weekend. The Canaries find themselves at the foot of the Pro League table, suffering a slump at home with a 2-1 loss to St. Liz. A relegation scrap and two points adrift of top-flight safety at the heart of Friday’s showdown, the former Anderlecht boss has seen his squad take just one win from any of their previous seven appearances across all competitions. Friday’s hosts also earned a reputation for their glaring problems at Stein, as they suffered a 4-0 drubbing against Genk as they crashed out of the Belgian Cup on 7 January. In fact, St Truiden have failed to secure a single win in front of their supporters since returning from the November international break.
For the visitors, although Antwerp saw their respective Belgian Cup adventure come to an end earlier in the month, it seems it was a minor blip for Jonas de Roque. Dragging themselves to an action-packed 3-2 win over Westerlo, the former Anderlecht coach saw his squad suffer just one defeat in any of their previous seven appearances across all competitions. Kicking off the new year with a 5-1 thrashing of Royal Union, Friday’s visitors will also be buoyed by a dominant record against the Pro League relegation scrappers. Storming their way to a remarkable 6-1 win when they last met St Truiden for their reverse showdown on August 11, they have amassed 13 points from their last five Pro League battles. Having not suffered a single top-flight defeat on their travels since December 1st, we’re backing an away draw this weekend.
