Combo Winner : St. Truiden and +1.5 goals

KV Mechelen come into this one in decent shape but not spectacular - a win, a couple of draws and a loss in their recent games, with a couple of those matches ending goalless or tight. St. Truiden have been up and down too, mixing wins with heavy defeats, so neither side looks completely settled right now. When these two meet, the games often have goals in them, and several recent meetings were won comfortably by one team or the other rather than being cagey, low-scoring affairs.

This one looks close on paper, but St. Truiden have had the better of this fixture over the years and their recent form is slightly stronger. It should be an open game with chances at both ends, and the smart money would lean toward a narrow St. Truiden win - though a draw is also very possible given how evenly matched the two teams appear.
