Team analysis: St. Truiden
The home team kicks off this season following a strong finish last year, ending in 1st place. They are not significantly influenced by home advantage, as their recent form shows similar results both at home and away. Over their last 30 matches, they have achieved 7 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses as visitors, scoring 26 goals and conceding 22, compared to their 7 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses at home with 23 goals scored and 22 conceded. In their latest friendly match, they secured a 1-0 victory against Al-Qadsiah. In their last 10 home fixtures, Sint-Truiden’s record stands at 5 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses. Their defence has allowed goals in 7 of those matches, indicating a need for improvement, while their attack has maintained consistency, scoring at least once in all their previous 10 games. Their last 20 home encounters reflect a trend of goals, with 18 concluding with more than 1.5 goals.
Sint-Truiden enters the new season eager to shake off the underwhelming performance of the past campaign, where they fought for top-flight survival. They recognise the importance of being competitive from the outset and understand that home matches are crucial to achieving this goal. Although this fixture poses challenges, the team plans to rely on cohesive teamwork and tactical discipline to find balance throughout the match. Minimising errors and capitalising on opportunities will be vital to starting off positively. Precision in their on-field decisions can lead to significant advantages.
Team analysis: Gent
The away team begins this edition of the competition after finishing in 6th place last season. Interestingly, Gent has proven more effective when playing away than at home, with a record of 5 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses in their last 30 matches as visitors, compared to 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses at their stadium. In their latest friendly, they achieved a 2-1 victory against Feyenoord. Over their last 10 away games, Gent has recorded 4 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses. However, they have conceded goals in 9 of those encounters, highlighting areas in need of defensive improvement. In their away games, there tends to be fewer goals, with 13 of their last 29 matches ending with fewer than 1.5 goals. When playing away from home, Gent has conceded the first goal 9 times in 15 matches and has never been able to overturn the deficit. Notably, they scored 5 of their 14 goals in their last 20 away matches during the final 15 minutes (76’–90′).
Gent starts this season with a clear objective of reaching the playoff stage and competing for the top spots in the league table. Even though they are away for their opening match, the team aims to demonstrate strength and secure a positive outcome. They will likely adopt a balanced match plan, striving to control the pace without leaving too many gaps in defence. Consistency will be critical throughout the season, and a strong start could bolster their confidence. With tactical organisation and efficiency, Gent has the potential to earn points in this matchup.
