St. Truiden Team News
St. After three rounds played, Truiden is in sixth place in the table with six points won.
Unlike the other teams, the visitors played many friendly matches in the preparatory period, as many as 11, and recorded variable results (six wins, two draws, and three losses). The most challenging opponent of St. Truiden was in the last preparatory match before the start of the championship, against RB Leipzig, in which the German team won convincingly 4:0.
Even more interesting for this team is that they played matches in the first three rounds in which only one goal was scored. They beat Standard Liege and Kortrijk 1:0 each, while they were defeated by Anderlecht by the same score in the previous round, and there is no doubt that the defense of St. Truiden is at a high level.
