Anderlecht have won by two clear goals in four of the last five meetings between these two
The visitors won just twice on the road last season
Sint-Truiden have suffered a couple of heavy preseason defeats ahead of their opener
Anderlecht set to start in style
Anderlecht missed out on the Belgian title last season, but they’re set to make a strong start to this new campaign when they host Sint-Truiden on Saturday.
The visitors conceded a huge 61 goals over the course of last season and they struggled on the road, winning just two of their 15 trips. Sint-Truiden cross paths with an Anderelcht outfit who have had their number in recent meetings. The hosts have won by two clear goals in four of the previous five contests, scoring at least three times in all but one of their last four encounters.
Anderlecht have warmed up with some eye-catching results, beating Amiens 6-2, Wolfsburg 2-1 and PSV 3-0. They meet a Sint-Truiden side who have struggled in preseason, losing 4-0 to Ajax and 3-0 to Cologne in their last two games. They look set for another comprehensive loss, so take Anderlecht to cover a -1 handicap.
