Friday 30th September 2016 – Kickoff: 1930hrs
Football – Belgium – Jupiler League Betting Tips
Despite losing their last two away matches on the trot in the Belgian top flight, tonight’s hosts Oostende will no doubt be looking forward to returning to their Versluys Arena with a fair amount of confidence in bouncing back with a win.
Defeats at Eupen and Sporting Charleroi have temporarily stalled the home side, but having won all four of their previous home matches with wins over Club Brugge, Mouscron, Waasland-Beveren and fourth placed Gent, they’ll fancy their chances of taking all three points here tonight.
Oostende’s home record therefore stands at an impressive 4-0-0 6/2 and the bigger picture tells us that they’ve lost just once in their last eight matches on home turf in the Jupiler League. Forwards Musona (4 goals) and El Ghannassy look the most likely to notch here this evening.
Visitors Sint-Truiden have managed just one Jupiler League win from their last seven matches overall which was a recent heavy 4-1 defeat inflicted upon Waasland-Beveren at home a couple of weeks ago – but four defeats from their last five matches indicates a fragile unit ahead of tonight’s clash.
Defeats to Mouscron, Kortrijk, Mechelen and Gent are bad enough, but when you look at Sint-Truiden’s away form, you’ll find that they’ve lost their last four on the trot with a poor record of 0-0-4 2/8 under their belts on their travels to date.
Indeed, it’s actually nine away matches now without a win for tonight’s visitors and during this poor sequence of results, they’ve conceded a total of 17 goals against, and scored just 4 in reply.
This therefore installs Oostende as favourites but I see a bit of value on the home win here.
Pick: Oostende to win @ 1.75 bet365
