Standard Liege vs St. Truiden Prediction: Both teams are not at their best

Stade Maurice Dufrasne will host the Jupiler League game between Standard Liege and St. Truiden. The last time these two teams met, they settled for a 1-1 draw. How will this game unfold?

Standard Liege booked their spot in the next round of the Belgian Cup following a win over Lyra-Lierse Berlaar. In that game, Standard Liege needed an extra-time goal, thanks to Aiden O'Neill's strike having settled for a 2-2 draw at full time. In the meantime, Standard Liege's last league encounter ended in a defeat to Antwerp. This season, Standard Liege have 15 points after the first 12 matches, leaving them seated in the 9th spot. 

St. Truiden played K. Lierse S.K. during the week and secured a 0-2 win. Adres Ferrari and Olivier Dumont's strikes were enough to see them qualify for the next round in a cup contest. In the meantime, St. Truiden have won two, lost one, and drawn two of their last five matches. In the meantime, St. Truiden have accumulated 14 points in their first 14 league games. In that run, this team scored 17 goals while conceding 21. 

This will be close, with a lot of competitive play expected from each side. While each of their last matches of this fixture ended in a draw, this one is shaping to be the same, given that the performances of the two sides are the same. However, with goals in the past, I expect a similar outcome here. While Standard Liege are at home, I expect them also to win.
