Standard Liege vs Sint-Truidense Prediction and Betting Tips | December 27th 2023

Standard Liege and Sint-Truidense take to the pitch for the last time in 2023 when they lock horns in round 20 of the Belgian Jupiler League on Wednesday.

Thorsten Fink’s men journey to the Stade Maurice Dufrasne looking to pick up successive league wins for the first time since August.

Standard Liege failed to find their feet last time out when they suffered a disappointing 3-0 defeat against Mechelen at the AFAS-Stadion.

Carl Hoefkens’ side have now failed to taste victory in their last five matches across all competitions, losing three and claiming two draws since a 1-0 victory over Genk on November 25.

With 22 points from 19 matches, Standard Liege are currently 10th in the Jupiler League table, level on points with ninth-placed Mechelen.

Sint-Truidense, on the other hand, picked up an early Christmas present when they scraped a 1-0 victory over Sporting Charleroi last Saturday.

Prior to that, Fink’s men were on a three-game winless run, claiming one draw and losing twice, including a 1-0 defeat against Gent in the Belgian Cup on December 6.

With 26 points from 19 matches, Sint-Truidense are currently eighth in the league table, five points behind seventh-placed Genk in the championship round qualification places.
