Eupen hosts St. Truiden in round 4 of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Saturday, August 29th at Kehrwegstadion (Eupen)
Having a huge advantage over the hosts in Kortrijk, the Pandas did not convert many attempts and failed to score the Slovak goalkeeper Jakubec. The match ended in a 0-0 draw. Nevertheless, there are no questions about Eupen’s game - San Jose's men quickly recovered from the defeat to Brugge (0-4), and if they were a little luckier at Guldensporen, they would have taken three points from Kortrijk. I liked Eupen’s game at the start, and I consider this team a favorite of the home confrontation with St. Truiden. Only Rocha Miramar will not be able to help the hosts due to injury.

Sint-Truiden also failed to breach Oostende's defense at home, but Muscat's team should be happy with the result, as the Yellow-Blues played in the minority for about a half, and the opponents didn’t manage to convert a penalty. The men of the Australian coach can add only the beginning of the match to their assets. So far, St. Truiden is a completely different team on the road, and it will be very difficult for the visitors to play against more organized and balanced Eupen. Teixeira and De Ridder will miss the match.
In the last championship, the teams played very spectacular matches. Eupen gained a 2-2 draw at home, but San Jose's men were beaten with a 5-2 score away. In my opinion, the Pandas have a better chance of success now. The team is much more coordinated, while the visitors have a new coach and half of the team was sold out. Moreover, St. Truiden has problems with discipline. They picked a red card for the second match in a row, and this time the leading center defender Teixeira will not play. Considering all these factors, I will bet on the hosts' victory with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Eupen to win with 0.0 handicap
