Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Antwerp and St. Truiden take on each other at Bosuilstadion in the Jupiler League round 24. Antwerp aim to build on back-to-back wins over Charleroi and Oostende, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Defender Abdoulaye Seck is still on Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal, while Portugal international Buta remains in the recovery room. A man to watch in the home team will be Michael Frey, who has been scoring goals for fun of late.
De Kanaries, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team impressing in home fixtures, while struggling on the travels. Considering that St. Truiden are on a four-game losing run on the road, and given Antwerp’s fine form, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. Both De Ridder and Konate are on international duty, speaking of the away side.
