St. Truiden take on the visitors Club Brugge in the round 21 match of Belgian Jupiler Pro League. The match will be played on Thursday, January 19th at Stayen (Sint-Truiden).
St. Truiden remains the most "Japanese" club in Western Europe. The Canaries have been using odd selection for years, actively inviting the Japanese footballer. Here, Shinji Kagawa is still showing his skills, in addition, there is Okazaki, although their fellow countrymen, Hasioka and Hayashi bring more benefits, and Schmidt, an American with a Japanese passport, remains the main goalkeeper. We also note Gianni Bruno that he once tried himself in the Wings of the Soviets. That's just enough to stay in the middle of the table, moreover, since the end of autumn there has been a rise. True, at the same time, the team was knocked out by Zulte Waregem from the cup. And only at Eupen they bounced back, having taking 2-0 win on the road.

Club Brugge still can’t fully get back in their best conditions. The Black and Blues have dominated Belgian football in recent years. Even last season it turned out to get ahead of the upstart, Union, and scored the 3rd "gold" in a row in the 2nd round of the Jupiler League. Moreover, in the Champions League the team became a discovery, starting with 3 victories. Then a recession followed, and if in the European Cup they still managed to get into the playoffs, then in the cup they lost 1-4 just to Saint-Truiden, and in the championship it’s impossible to get in shape. Already once again they changed their mentor, luring Scott Parker to the post, but the debut was framed by a weak-willed 1-3 with Genk when Silla was sent off. There was no luck in match with Anderlecht either: they led in a principled duel, but due to an own goal by Mekhele in the 78th minute, the match only ended in a draw.
Before the aforementioned 4-1 in the cup, Saint Truiden won only in the summer 2015. Moreover, Brugge won 8 head-to-head matches in a row after that. Brugge are struggling to come to life. And Saint Truiden should take advantage of this - we will believe that he will not lose.
Prediction for the match: St. Truiden not to lose (1X).
