Синт-Трјуден против Зулте Варегем

St. Truiden and Zulte Waregem meet on matchday 11 with neither side in good form. The hosts are 15th with 8 points from 10 games (two wins, two draws, six defeats). The visitors are 10th on 11 points, so a home win would put the gap at three points. St. Truiden have lost five league games running. Their latest was a 2-1 home defeat to OH Leuven, in which Nathanaël Mbuku scored after missing a penalty, and Ibrahim Sebaoui also had a spot kick saved. Two penalties missed in one half is the sort of detail that sums up their season so far. Zulte Waregem took no points from their four games before facing Club Brugge, then lost 4-2 at home on 30 October, three of the goals conceded inside 13 minutes. Tobias Hedl scored twice in that game and is the man St. Truiden will worry about. Both clubs badly need a result, and we expect a tight one. Our prediction: 1-1
