St. Truiden vs Standard Liege Prediction: Both teams will settle for a draw

In round 22 of the Jupiler Pro League, St. Truiden will play Standard Liege at Stayen. The two teams secured a much-needed win the previous weekend and will have high hopes here. Which side wins this one? Below, I will offer game previews and betting opportunities.

St. Truiden

St. Truiden secured a hard-fought win over Westerlo the previous weekend and will hope to keep things running. In a game that ended 1-2, St. Truiden had an early lead through Andres Ferrari's strike, but Alfie Devine levelled the scores for their opponent before the break. However, Japanese Ryotaro Ito's strike in the 65th minute was enough to see this team take maximum points. However, St. Truiden's prior encounters to that win saw them go five games without a win. In that run, this team drew Cercle Brugge while losing to Gent, Anderlecht, Charleroi, and Genk. St. Truiden have four games without a win in their last league home games. In 21 games played, St. Truiden accumulated 22 points, scored 26 goals and sit 14th place. 

Standard Liege

Standard Liege are coming off an incredible win over Kortrijk, which ended 1-0. Dennis Eckert Ayensa's strike was enough to see this team secure maximum points in the 50th minute in that encounter. However, prior encounters to that win saw Standard Liege go six matches without a win. This team lost to Genk and Gent while drawing KV Mechelen, Beerschot VA, Leuven, and Charleroi in that run. Away from home, Standard Liege have not won any of their last seven matches. This season, Standard Liege have 28 points from 21 league games, leaving them 9th in the standings. 

Expert Betting Tips

Standard Liege and St. Truiden are just two inconsistent sides with unreliable performances. While the two teams' past meetings have ended with very close scores, I expect a similar outcome here, as they can not afford to drop points. Yet, I do not see a clear winner in this fixture, and I feel a draw should be the outcome of this game. In the meantime, while I do not expect a dull contest, a bet on both teams scoring is a good option.
