Antwerp travel to Daio Wasabi Stayen to take on St. Truiden in Jupiler Pro League (matchday 24). The game is scheduled for Saturday 6 March 2027 at 16:00 UK time.

Form Analysis

Looking at their last 10 matches, St. Truiden stand at 3W 1D 6L — 1.00 PPG. Last five: L L L L W. They are averaging 2.10 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. However, 2.10 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

St. Truiden's form when playing at home: 5W 2D 3L across their last 10 home games (1.70 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.80 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. Their home PPG of 1.70 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.00 — St. Truiden are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Antwerp — last 10 games: 2W 2D 6L — 0.80 PPG. Last five: L L W L D. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 2.30. Conceding 2.30 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

Antwerp's form when playing away from home: 3W 1D 6L across their last 10 road games (1.00 PPG). Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 1.90 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: St. Truiden 1.00 PPG, Antwerp 0.80 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.

Head to Head

Despite the home advantage, Antwerp have the better record in our head-to-head data — 5 wins from 10 H2H matches against 2 for St. Truiden.

The 10 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.6 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 30 Aug 2026, ended St. Truiden 4–1 Antwerp — a St. Truiden win.

Antwerp have the better head-to-head record despite being the visitors — 5 wins from 10 H2H matches. Home advantage alone is not a reason to dismiss that.

In-Play Data

St. Truiden trading profile (last 51 games, 25 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 80% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 93% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 71% of those occasions; of the 15 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 33%; BTTS occurs in 52% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 60% of games (home games).

Antwerp trading profile (last 51 games, 25 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 64% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 53% of those occasions; of the 11 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 27%; BTTS occurs in 36% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 40% of games (away games); they fail to score in 35% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — St. Truiden 57% versus Antwerp 47%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (St. Truiden 59% | Antwerp 49%). Note also that Antwerp surrender HT leads in 27% of cases while St. Truiden recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 33% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects St. Truiden 2.11 xG and Antwerp 1.19 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: St. Truiden attack 0.998 / defence 1.080 | Antwerp attack 0.812 / defence 1.197. League average goals — home 1.765 / away 1.356. Data: built from St. Truiden's last 41 games and Antwerp's last 41.

Result probabilities: St. Truiden 58% | Draw 21% | Antwerp 21%. Fair-value odds: St. Truiden 1.71 | Draw 4.84 | Antwerp 4.79. The model has a clear lean to St. Truiden (58%) — a 37pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 64% | BTTS Yes probability 61% | Total xG 3.30. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 64% — the 3.30 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% — both xG figures (2.11 / 1.19) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is St. Truiden at 58% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 21% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 3.30 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 64% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (St. Truiden's last 10 home games and Antwerp's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 61% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: St. Truiden 50% (last 10 home games) | Antwerp 60% (last 10 away games).
