St. Truiden vs Oostende Prediction & Betting tips
The past season in the Belgian Jupiler League was not brought to an end. Club Brugge was crowned champions, but there were no relegations. The KV Oostende benefited from this, which was in dire straits until the end of the season. The league has been increased to 18 teams, but this year it seems to be business as usual for the KVO.
After two match days, Oostende is in the Jupiler League table again on the penultimate place and is still pointless after these two games. Therefore, on Monday at the end of the third day of the game in St. Truiden, only the outsider role remains. Can Oostende still avert the total false start?
Sint-Truidense got off to a better start into the season with one win and one defeat, which in the match between St. Truiden and Oostende speaks for a prediction of a home win. Kevin Muscat’s team could even move towards the top of the table with a three. The best bookmakers do not see this scenario as unlikely.
Due to the now about one and a half year weak period of KVO, our tendency in the duel between St. Truiden and Oostende is a tip for a home win. Without going too deep into the analysis, these odds sound very attractive.
St. Truiden:
Three points from two games are a good result for St. Truiden. Whether the start of the new season can be regarded as successful will be assessed after the game on Monday at the earliest. The new coach Kevin Muscat is at least not satisfied so far, which points to the increased demands of Limburg.
St. Truiden is currently a mediocre club in the Jupiler League. No special series can be made out, neither in the new season, which is still short, nor in the last season that was canceled. However, the first home game of the season was won. Perhaps this is an indication to use the odds on the home side in the match between St. Truiden and Oostende.
Last weekend, Kevin Muscat and his team had to face the difficult task at RSC Anderlecht. Just before the break, the RSC took the lead before Ibrahima Sory Sankhon was sent off. Captain Steve de Ridder then had to be replaced with a broken collarbone. In the end, Nelson Balongo’s goal was only enough to lose 3-1.
On Monday against Ostend, Kevin Muscat expects his team to perform differently. It is bitter that he has to replace two important players with Steve de Ridder and Ibrahima Sory Sankhon. However, the coach has already made it clear that he will make at least two changes. There should therefore be further changes.
Osstende:
It is becoming more and more of a trend that young German players and coaches migrate to Belgium in order to earn important spurs in their careers there. With Alexander Blessin, KV Oostende has unleashed a youth coach from RB Leipzig who also has two German talents in the squad with Frederik Jäkel and Nick Bätzer.
Up to this point, however, the German coach’s commitment has not been successful. Two defeats in two games are the result of the season so far. Overall, Oostende has been without a win in the Jupiler League since February 1, when it was a three-point against Sint-Truidense. That doesn’t sound like it would be advisable to make a forecast for the guests between St. Truiden and Oostende.
The KVO lost both season games by one goal difference. At the start of the season, Alexander Blessin’s team conceded a 2-1 home defeat against Beerschot. Last weekend there was a 1-0 defeat by the leaders in Charleroi without losing points. So Ostend is always on the line, but has not earned any points up to this point.
The two German talents will almost certainly not be in the starting XI on Monday. A place in the squad would be a great thing for the two youngsters. In contrast to St. Truiden, there are no personnel worries at Oostende. Alexander Blessin can therefore send his desired formation into the race, which still means the role of the outsider in the odds comparison of the betting base.
