Antwerp vs St. Truiden Preview & Betting Odds
Despite suffering a first defeat of the season last time out, Antwerp will still head into the tie as strong favourites (1.84). They have been the most consistent team in the Jupiler Pro League 2022 season, proving effective at both ends of the pitch. Not only do the hosts have the best defensive record in the division, Vincent Janssen is the league’s joint top scorer with seven goals in 10 games.
St. Truiden are 4.10 underdogs heading into this fixture, but there have been plenty of positives for the visitors this season. They may be struggling to find the net with any real consistency, but Antwerp are the only side to have conceded fewer thus far. In fact, St. Truiden have let in just one goal in their five away matches this campaign.
Under 2.5 goals (1.79) has landed in six of St. Truiden’s 10 games, an incredibly low rate for the high-scoring Jupiler Pro League. Given the away side’s defensive capabilities, you’d expect Antwerp to struggle to carve out as many chances as they have done in most games until now. It’s not gearing up to be an end-to-end thriller, with one goal potentially enough to seal the three points.
Antwerp have kept five clean sheets already this season, whilst St. Truiden have failed to find the net in four of their outings. This suggest an Antwerp win to zero (3.05) is a good option, as is St. Truiden to score under 0.5 goals (2.47).
Antwerp vs St. Truiden Betting Tips
Antwerp win – 1.84
It was only a slight blip last weekend. Antwerp will be fully expected to get back to winning ways against an uninspired St. Truiden. The visitors don’t have an awful lot that can threaten Antwerp’s backline – whilst the Jupiler Pro League 2022 frontrunners have an abundance of class in forward areas.
Antwerp win & under 2.5 goals – 3.45
It will be a battle of the defences in the opening Pro League game of the weekend. Antwerp’s Janssen only needs one chance to find the net and a goal could be enough against a St. Truiden side lacking any real cutting edge.
1st half result: draw – 2.11
Expect St. Truiden to defend resiliently and eventually succumb to second half pressure. The travelling team have kept a first half clean sheet in seven of their 10 games. An interesting selection to add to your bet slip.
