Anderlecht welcome St. Truiden to Lotto Park in the Belgian Pro League on Thursday. At this stage of the season, the two teams are involved in the Belgian Pro League Championship Group playoffs.
The Belgian Pro League Championship Playoffs follow an interesting format that involves the top six teams from the regular season competing in a round-robin tournament. This competition is designed to determine the national champion and European qualification spots, with points earned during the regular season halved going into the playoffs.
Thanks for the submission!
STVV are coming third at the moment with 40 points, while Anderlecht are 10 points below them in the Champions’ playoff table.
In their most recent match, Anderlecht were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Mechelen, who took the lead through Myron van Brederode. Anderlecht equalized before halftime thanks to Nathan Saliba, but Mechelen went ahead again through Therence Koudou. Winger Ilay Camara was on hand to earn the Paars-wit a point thanks to his 90-minute goal.
Meanwhile, St. Truiden’s most recent match was a 1-1 stalemate with Gent at the Stayen Stadium. Gent opened the scoring through Wilfried Kanga, but defender Loic Mbe Soh made sure that De Kanaries would share the spoils with his 69th-minute goal.

Anderlecht vs St. Truiden prediction
As far as injuries are concerned, Anderlecht are likely to miss attacking midfielder Mario Stroeykens, which is a significant loss for the home side in terms of their creativity up front. Meanwhile, St. Truiden are without the services of winger Arbnor Muja and left-back Abdoul Ayinde due to injuries.
Anderlecht have certainly not been at their best in the playoffs, and defensively, they have looked vulnerable. The Canaries are likely to wait for the visitors to come forward before using pace and smart movement to punish them on the counterattack.
We expect both sides to score in this match, but for it to end in a stalemate.
