St. Truiden vs Mouscron Prediction & Betting tips
Can Sint-Truiden surprise everyone again? Will they manage to get into play-off I this time? These are questions that will not be answered after Saturday, but it is already where the Canaries would like to work. Doing better becomes a hellish task, but that’s what you do it for. Mouscron is the opponent of service at Stayen.
St.Truiden:
It was mainly the question at Sint-Truiden whether coach Marc Brys remained at the helm. Now that he remains, it seems that the most important “transfer” that has been done is immediately. The right man in the right place seems to be the case. After the previous season managed to compete for a spot in play-off I until the last day of play and there was also the entire season, it still had to play play-off II at the last minute. A downer on a very good season. The objective is to get to something like that again, because that is anything but simple.
At Sint-Truiden, not too much has changed since the transfer period, although they have lost their golden rooster Kamada (he was rented). Tomiyasu and De Sart are also two strong players who left the club. Incoming De Smet (AA Gent), Suzuki (Kashima Antlers) arrived and so it went back to the Asian market and immediately rented Cong Phuong Nguyen. For us, of course, a noble unknown, although it turned out that Sint-Truiden benefited the Asians last season.
During the preparation, Sint-Truiden started well with several victories, even against Ghent it won 4-2 but in their last practice games it lost twice. Against respectively Lommel (1-2) and PAOK (0-4). The latter may be the Greek champion, but it is a big defeat to deal with just before the start of the competition. Yet Brys didn’t care much: “you learn a lot more with defeats, perhaps even more than with a victory.”
Royal Excelsior Mouscron:
At Mouscron it was also scared to wait and see whether coach Bernd Storck would continue or not, but towards the end of last season it was already clear that he would not continue at Mouscron. His replacement is Bernd Hollerbach, another German. He also indicated that Storck had done an excellent job and that he should continue to work well on such a basis.
It had to say goodbye this summer to strongholds such as Benson, Taiwoniyi and Amallah. They played a major role last season. The newcomers are unknown to us so far, but have proven to be of value for this Mouscron during the practice duels. For Mouscron, the objective is, of course, again to avoid degradation and to aim for more if possible.
Mouscron played almost all their preparation against equal teams. Only against Ferencvaros it lost 2-0. The most notable victory was this against KV Oostende in which it won with a heavy 4-0 score, while Ostend would be one of the teams that could become a direct competitor this season. Coach Hollerbach looked back with satisfaction and hopes that his team can now get off to a good start and not as late as last season.
