SK Beveren - St.Truiden

Can SK Beveren maintain the momentum of their recent victory as they host St.Truiden on 12 September 2026 for matchday 6 of the Belgian Pro League? The hosts are expected to deploy an attacking trio of Lennart Mertens, Jearl Margaritha, and Christian Bruels, supported by a midfield anchored by Chris Lokesa, Cheick Conde, and Sieben Dewaele. SK Beveren arrives at Freethiel Stadion looking to build on a convincing 3-0 win over OH Leuven, a result that provided a necessary lift following a difficult run of heavy defeats against Genk and Zulte Waregem.

St.Truiden enters the contest with a similarly erratic form profile, having responded to a 0-3 loss against Union St.Gilloise with a dominant 4-0 victory over RAAL La Louviere. Their expected XI features Samed Bazdar leading the line, with Ilias Sebaoui and Ryotaro Araki tasked with dictating the tempo from midfield. With both sides demonstrating an ability to score freely while occasionally struggling for defensive consistency, the outcome will likely hinge on which backline can better manage the transition phases.
