On Thursday evening, Anderlecht will welcome St. Truiden in the second-to-last round of the Jupiler Pro League. The hosts are coming to the match after losing the Belgian Cup to Royale Union SG and then drawing KV Mechelen. Meanwhile, St. Truiden also comes to the game after winning one point in the past two matches. However, there is a massive difference in motive as the visitors already secured 3rd place and the Europa League Qualifiers, while the hosts are still trying to secure their European Qualifiers.
Let's break down the game and find the best possible bet for this Jupiler Pro League tie.

These teams have met three times this season, with each team winning once. Looking further back, over the past ten H2H games, Anderlecht were much more successful, winning seven times, while St. Truiden won twice.
When it comes to the number of goals, five of the past ten H2H games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored in four of them.
Anderlecht team overview
Anderlecht have had a pretty bad season, at least by their standards. They were eliminated from the European Qualifiers, and then were pretty inconsistent in the domestic league. The popular Purple & White were particularly bad in the last part of the season, during which they also lost the Cup Finals. That Cup title would pretty much save their season. Now, with two rounds left in the season, they are in 4th place, without a chance to move up. Still, the two teams below them are two points away, and they have to finish strongly.
After a 2:2 draw against KV Mechelen, coach Jeremy Taravel spoke to the media. He said they managed to salvage a very important point in the stoppage time. The coach added that they have to continue battling to hold on to 4th place, which is very important for the club's future.
Central defender Moussa Diarra suffered an injury in the previous game and had to leave the field after 77 minutes. The 25-year-old defender is listed as questionable for the St. Truiden match.

St. Truiden team overview
St. Truiden are playing their best season in a very long time. After finishing 14th in the previous year and ending up in the relegation Group, the Canaries have been amazing. They have already secured 3rd spot and are ten points away from 4th-placed Anderlecht. So, regardless of what happens in the remaining two games, they will finish 3rd. Therefore, they could approach these games in a more relaxed manner.
In the previous game against Gent, Ryotaro Ito and Rihito Yamamoto both suffered injuries and had to leave the field. They will most likely miss the upcoming match since St. Truiden have no particular motive.

Prediction
Anderlecht have had massive problems defensively at home, pretty much consistently allowing 2+ goals. Mainly because of that poor defense, they went over 2.5 goals in six consecutive home games. Also, in the Championship Group, they went over the mentioned line in six out of eight games - 75%.
On the other hand, St. Truiden weren't as great for this type of bet, but they still went over 2.5 goals in two of the past four games, while the other two finished with two goals each. Additionally, two out of three H2H games this season between these teams went over 2.5 goals.
Considering all the above, we expect a high-scoring game, likely with both teams scoring.
3 Reasons why we should see three or more goals
- Anderlecht went over 2.5 goals in six consecutive home games
- St. Truiden scored nine goals in the past five games - 1.8 per game
- Two out of three H2H games this season ended with three or more goals
