Anderlecht take on the visitors Sint-Truiden at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium in the 9th tour of the Belgian First Division A. The match will be played in the eponymous city Anderlecht on Sunday, September 30th.
Anderlecht are not only six points behind Club Brugge in the table but also they are seven points behind Genk at the moment. Furthermore, they have been disgraced by St. Gilloise in the 1/16-finals fixture of the Belgian Cup this week with a 0-3 score. Even though the head coach of the team Hein Vanhaezebrouck has used his reserve players in that fixture they have had no right to lose with such a big score to a team from the lower division. In their last three matches Anderlecht lost to St. Gilloise with a 0-3 score in the 1/16-finals of the Belgian Cup, beat Standard Liege with a 2-1 score and lost to Trnava with a 0-1 score in their Europa League group stage fixture.

Sint-Truiden had had a four match drawing streak in the start of the new season and in the fifth tour they lost to Standard Liege. After that defeat they have started their winning streak which now consists of three fixtures. That series has allowed them to move from the lower part of the table to the top five category. In their upcoming fixture against Anderlecht though they will need to try very hard in order to get any positive result. In their last three matches Sint-Truiden beat Duffel with a 3-0 score in the 1/16-finals fixture of the Belgian Cup, Antwerp with a 2-0 score and Gent with a 2-1 score.
It is absolutely clear that Anderlecht will try to rehabilitate before their fans in the upcoming fixture after their disgraceful loss to St. Gilloise in the Belgian Cup fixture on Thursday. Sint-Truiden is unlikely to be ready to face that angry Anderlecht. In their last fourteen matches between Anderlecht and Sint-Truiden at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium the hosting side won twelve of them. They scored more than two goals in eight of those games. Now the offensive line of the Purple & White is good too, they have been able to score seventeen goals already this season. Furthermore, the team of Hein Vanhaezebrouck has a very powerful squad overall. Judging by that aspect the only real competitor of the Sporting is Club Brugge in the league. Sint-Truiden have a very weak squad especially in comparison to the one that Anderlecht possess. It is absolutely possible though that De Kanaries will score one goal on Sunday. Even though Anderlecht often score a lot they allow a lot too. The have been able to keep their goal safe only once so far this season. Sint-Truiden on the other hand have scored at least once in each of their away fixtures. It is likely that the Purple & White will get the victory in the upcoming match but with a real struggle and a lot of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Anderlecht to win and over 2.5 goals scored.
