Steffen Schmidt - August 11, 2023
St. Truiden vs Anderlecht
Belgian First Division A
Date: 13 August 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 12:30 UK / 13:30 CET
Venue: Daio Wasabi Stayen Stadium (Sint-Truiden).
Sint-Truiden will be hoping to keep their perfect record at the beginning of the 2023/24 First Division A campaign on Sunday when they play host to Anderlecht in the first game of the day.
The hosts are yet to concede in the new season, following back-to-back 1-0 wins over Standard Liege and Kortrijk.
They offered a stunning performance seven days ago away at Kortrijk, allowing the counterparts only a single attempt on target in the 90 minutes of action.
Midfielders Aboubakary Koita, Mathias Delorge-Knieper, and Jarne Steuckers controlled the ball at the center of the park. The latter made the difference by netting the only goal of the game.
Anderlecht have also done well defensively last weekend, keeping things quiet at the back for their maiden win of the season, a 1-0 success against Antwerp.
The latest acquisition Kasper Dolberg scored the only goal of the match from the penalty spot right at the death of the first half last Sunday.
It was the team’s maiden win of the season after an inaugural round’s 2-0 defeat at the hands of Union Saint-Gilloise.
Nonetheless, Anderlecht’s coach Brian Riemer can also be satisfied with his team’s defensive showings this summer in general.
Anderlecht kept three clean sheets in the last five matches if we also count preseason friendlies.
Both teams look very tough to break down at the beginning of the season and we have to go with the Under 2.5 goals FT as the primary betting option at the odds of 1.85.
The braver tipsters can chase the goalless draw as the correct score bet at the attractive 10.00 odds.
