Match Analysis
St. Truiden host Genk at Daio Wasabi Stayen in Jupiler Pro League, Regular Season - 13. Kick-off is scheduled for Sunday 29 November 2026 at 12:30 UTC.
Form Guide
St. Truiden — All Games: 4W 3D 3L from 10 Jupiler Pro League outings this season, averaging 1.50 points per game. Last five: D D W L W. Offensively they are averaging 1.90 goals per game, with 1.50 conceded. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. St. Truiden have played only a handful of Jupiler Pro League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
St. Truiden's home record at Daio Wasabi Stayen: 5W 2D 3L from 10 Jupiler Pro League appearances (1.70 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.70 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
Looking at all fixtures this season, Genk stand at 4W 5D 1L from 10 Jupiler Pro League matches — 1.70 PPG. Last five: L W D W D. They are scoring at 1.70 per game and conceding 0.80. Defensively, 0.80 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 7 clean sheets from 10 games (70%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets. Genk have played only a handful of Jupiler Pro League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
On the road, Genk have gone 3W 5D 2L from 10 away fixtures this term (1.40 PPG). Away from home they average 1.60 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road.
There is minimal separation in the form figures — St. Truiden at 1.50 PPG versus Genk's 1.70. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.
H2H Record
Genk have tended to come out on top in this fixture, winning 4 of the last 10 encounters against St. Truiden's 1 victories.
The 10 previous encounters between these sides have been high-scoring affairs — 2.9 goals per contest on average. Historical precedent backs the Over 2.5 goals market. The most recent clash, on 15 Mar 2026, ended 0–1 with Genk winning.
The H2H provides genuine backing for the away side. Genk have won 4 of 10 previous encounters, and at 2.9 goals per game, the goals market also points upward. The away win and Over 2.5 combination has a historical case worth noting.
In-Play Profile
St. Truiden in-play tendencies (45 games, 23 at home): they score before half-time in 78% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 92% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 52% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 61% of games (home games).
Genk in-play tendencies (45 games, 23 at away): they score before half-time in 73% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 70% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 65% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — St. Truiden 56% versus Genk 62%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (St. Truiden 58% | Genk 56%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects St. Truiden 2.14 xG and Genk 1.68 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 1.073 / defence 0.972 | Genk attack 1.248 / defence 1.311. League average goals — home 1.523 / away 1.386. Genk bring a strong defensive rating of 1.311 — this is suppressing St. Truiden's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Genk have an above-average attack strength of 1.248 — the away xG of 1.68 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 35 St. Truiden games / 34 Genk games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: St. Truiden 49% | Draw 21% | Genk 31%. Fair-value odds: St. Truiden 2.04 | Draw 4.76 | Genk 3.23. St. Truiden hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (21%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 74% | BTTS probability 72% | Total xG 3.82. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 74% — a total xG of 3.82 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 72% reflects that both xG figures (2.14 / 1.68) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
Analysis Verdict
On the Poisson output, St. Truiden are the pick at 49% — moderate model lean. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
Poisson projects 3.82 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 74% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game and H2H averaging 2.9 goals per meeting.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 72%. Form rates corroborate: St. Truiden 60% | Genk 50% BTTS from recent games.
The outsider holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
