Recent specific meetings include a 3-0 Westerlo win in 2025 and a 1-2 away loss for Westerlo earlier in that campaign, highlighting how results can swing in either direction.
Westerlo team overview
Westerlo have been inconsistent of late, a trend reflected in their mixed run of results. In recent fixtures, they have struggled to string wins together, often alternating between draws and defeats in domestic competition. Across their last six matches, they have managed just one victory - a 1-0 away win at Zulte Waregem - with a combination of draws and losses pointing to defensive vulnerabilities and difficulties in closing out tight games.
That said, Westerlo have fared slightly better at the Het Kuipje, recording two wins from their last three home league outings.
Squad depth could be tested by a groin injury to defender Seiji Kimura, which may weaken their defensive unit. Other injury or availability concerns remain unclear, although defensive reinforcements appear to be a priority given recent performances.

St. Truidense team overview
St. Truidense arrive in strong form, having posted an impressive run of results in recent weeks, particularly away from home. Across their last 11 league matches, they have recorded nine victories while maintaining solid defensive structure, conceding fewer goals than many of their Pro League rivals. One of just two defeats during this period came last weekend, when they suffered a 2-0 home loss to Charleroi.
Their away form is especially noteworthy. Many of their road fixtures have produced over 1.5 total goals, highlighting both attacking intent and occasional defensive exposure. Although their away performances have not always translated into maximum points, St. Truidense remain the most successful Belgian Pro League side on the road this season, having accumulated 20 points from 11 away matches.
There are some injury concerns, with winger Taku Hata sidelined by a knee problem and Simen Juklerød dealing with a hamstring issue, which could limit their attacking options.

Prediction
On balance, St. Truidense’s superior league position and recent form suggest they are the more reliable side heading into this fixture. Westerlo’s inconsistency and defensive fragility could be exposed by a St. Truidense team that scores more freely and concedes fewer goals. Coupled with their strong away momentum, the visitors appear the more likely to come away with points.
Prediction: St. Truidense to Win.
Three reasons we expect St. Truidense to Win
- St. Truidense have collected four wins in their last five away trips in the Belgian Pro League.
- Westerlo have failed to secure a win in four of their last six Pro League home fixtures.
- St. Truidense have recorded nine wins in their last 11 Pro League matches.
