St. Truiden - Oostende Prediction, Picks and Taips

Sint-Truiden and Ostend close match day two. Visitors look for the first points on the artificial grass of Stayen. The Canaries had tough opponents in the first two games and will be only too happy with a victory after three games.

Due to the injury of Steve De Ridder, coach Kevin Muscat has to appoint a new captain at STVV. Last season Botaka wore the band, but he now plays with KAA Gent. STVV will also have to do without central defender Ibrahima Sankhon for two match days. He is suspended for his nasty charge on Jérémy Doku. Referee Lawrence Visser first gave yellow, but after the intervention of the VAR, that picture turned red. Sankhon pushed hard on Doku's ankles in the second half. STVV did not appeal against the suspension. After half time, STVV was able to come up with an answer, but Sankhon's red card paid it in cash. Landry Dimata punished it less than a minute later with a striking header. The newcomers did it for Anderlecht. Mychajlytsjenko with the opening goal and Percy Tau with the late goal. Lost sons Dimata and Adrien Trebel were involved in the second goal with a goal and assist. STVV has never been able to claim points gain in Anderlecht. They acted too weakly in duels for that. Trainer Kevin Muscat was especially not pleased with the first goal. "No pressure on the ball and it still passes four-five players," Muscat shook his head. "That is a sign that your mentality is not right. We played really well for six-seven minutes and showed aggressiveness. We also scored during that period. That tells me they can.

In the English media, they think that Ostend CEO Gauthier Ganaye will save Wigan Athletic from bankruptcy. Wigan Athletic still played in the Premier League in 2013 and then won the FA Cup, but has since dropped to the English third division. The club is also in financial need and will most likely go bankrupt if nothing happens. Ganaye was also previously at the helm of Barnsley and Nice. The Frenchman has been CEO of KVO since June but clearly wants to have a wide range of teams in his portfolio. Of course you don't buy much with it if you are left without points, but Ostend really does play nice football. Much better than last season, but at the front they don't get the ball against the nets. The best example of this was Robbie D'Haese. After the 1-0 he had a huge chance of the 1-1, but he shot very wildly wide. After the match, he sighed to explain more. "It really doesn't make me sleep well. I'm going to see that phase a few more times, "he shook his head. Only one signal to Ostend last night: "We played well, but it lacked efficiency." Trainer Alexander Blessin thinks he will find solutions, but then he still has to go to his board. without real 'number ten' it will be difficult. Vandendriesschie is an infiltrator, McGeehan a hard worker and D'Arpino hasn't shown much yet. The only one who can send such a pass is Hjulsager, who is struggling with the ankle. Ostend's homework is a long way off, but the board should still be looking for that one white blackbird. A man who can divide and score himself from the second line ... It's not an easy profile.
