St. Truiden hosts Oostende in round 3 of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Monday, July 24th at Stayen (Sint-Truiden)
In the last round, St. Truiden didn’t manage to resist Anderlecht and lost with a 1-3 score, but now Kevin Muscat's team has to play against one of the weakest teams at the start. Moreover, the Blue-Yellows managed to beat Gent in the first round (2:1), and Oostende is much weaker than the vice-champion of Belgium is. St. Truiden was actively preparing for the start of this season, and it is ready to perform much better than in the last season.

As I wrote earlier, Oostende has a new coach again, and it the fourth mentor in a year. Stability in such conditions should not be expected, especially since the squad of the visitors has changed by about half, and Blessin's men to find their best game. In such a situation, the defeat to Charleroi on its pitch (0-1) was logical. It will also be difficult with St. Truiden because the team is active in the attack and acts with greater intensity than Charleroi, so the visitors may have a third defeat in a row. The loss of important defenders in the person of Capon and Guri does not add optimism. Apart from them, the German Yekel and Batzner will not play.
The teams exchanged minimal home 1-0 wins in the last season. Now the teamwork of Muscat's squad is in favor of Saint Truiden. The visitors have serious problems with defense. On the other hand, the hosts play actively and intensively in the attack. Colidio will be very dangerous in the attack, just like the entire home team, so I think the hosts will have every chance of gaining victory.
Prediction for the match: St. Truiden to win with 0.0 handicap
