The Belgian Pro League continues on Saturday evening as in-form St. Truiden welcomes FCV Dender to Stayen.
With both sides set for just their third match of the new season - and only their third-ever meeting - a competitive and entertaining encounter is expected in Sint-Truiden.

St.Truiden and FCV Dender EH have met on just two previous occasions. Dender claimed one win and a draw, while both games finished with BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored.
St.Truiden team overview
St. Truiden maintained their strong early-season form with a 1:1 draw at Charleroi last weekend.
Wouter Vrancken's men began their season with a stylish 3:1 win against Gent two weeks ago, after claiming six successive pre-season victories. A strong run since the end of last season sees the home side unbeaten in their last ten games played.
An entertaining outfit, St. Truiden have seen over 2.5 goals in all but three of their last 13 matches, while five of their seven most recent games finished with BTTS.
Head coach Vrancken has a strong squad available, and is unlikely to make alterations from the side that picked up a point at Charleroi. The hosts have no reported injury or suspension worries.

FCV Dender EH team overview
FCV Dender make the trip to Sint-Truiden now winless in all but one of their last eight games played this summer. After losing five of six pre-season friendlies, Vincent Euvrard's men began their Pro League campaign with a pair of draws against Cercle Brugge and Standard Liege.
A poor away record has seen the visitors lose eight of their last 15 away games in the Pro League, including five of their last six most recent road trips.
Head coach Euvrard is likely to retain confidence in the same side that picked up a point in last week's matchup against Standard. FCV have two expected absentees with Ragnar Oratmangoen and Mohamed Berte tipped to remain sidelined.

Prediction
St. Truiden enjoyed a fine pre-season, picking up several victories over the past month, and they will fancy their chances of claiming the points on Saturday.
Conversely, Dender have struggled to find much winning form, and I expect the hosts to take advantage.
A home win is my top tip at Stayen.
Three Reasons Why We Expect St.Truiden to beat FCV Dender EH.
- St.Truiden won 8 of their last 10 matches
- St.Truiden won their last 3 home matches (Pro League)
- FCV Dender EH lost 4 of their last 6 matches
