Competition: Belgium Pro League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 2/3 @ BetUS

In what could prove to be an action-packed Pro League showdown on Thursday night, Anderlecht will welcome St. Truiden to Lotto Park.

Starting with the hosts, while some in Anderlecht’s camp might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign with their sights set on mounting a genuine Pro League title charge, the Belgium giants are once again limping their way over the finishing line and have faced another public backlash on either side of March’s international break. Last seen missing out on what they had billed as a golden opportunity as they eventually had to settle for a thrilling 2-2 stalemate at home against KV Mechelen, Jeremy Taravel’s downbeat squad are only just clinging onto fourth-place in the Pro League standings. Likewise, suffering real Belgium Cup heartbreak at the hands of Royale Union on May 14th as they fell to a deserved 3-1 loss, the Purples have failed to muster a single win from any of their previous six consecutive appearances across all competitions. Likewise, gaining an unwanted reputation for their glaring defensive defensive struggles, Anderlecht have remarkably failed to come away unscathed in any of their previous 14 straight matchups – a rut that stems all the way back to February 12th.

As for the visitors, while St. Truiden might have found themselves at the heart of a real battle battle in the race to keep hold of their Pro League status last season, the Canaries have certainly cemented their spot as Belgium’s ultimate surprise package this time around. Embarking on what has been a record-breaking run, Wouter Vrancken’s side have already wrapped up a bronze medal finish with plenty of time to spare and they have rightfully received a string of plaudits. Signing off April with a sensational 4-1 romp away at KV Mechelen, Thursday’s guests find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. In fact, getting May underway with a 2-1 win at home against Royale Union, St. Truiden have lost just one of their previous six showdowns against Pro League opposition. However, despite smelling the chance to claim another heavyweight top-flight scalp here, Vrancken’s men are seeking their own defensive grit. It should be highlighted, the Canaries are without a clean sheet from any of their last four consecutive attempts.
