Analysis & Preview
A Jupiler Pro League encounter, Regular Season - 28 sees Kortrijk travel to Daio Wasabi Stayen Stadium to take on St. Truiden. The game is scheduled for Saturday 1 March 2025, 17:15 UTC.
Recent Form
Across all Jupiler Pro League games this season, St. Truiden have gone 1W 4D 5L from 10 outings — a 0.70 PPG return. Last five: D L L D D. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 1.60 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. Both teams have scored in 90% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone. This season is still relatively young for St. Truiden, so this record blends games from this season and last.
St. Truiden's home record at Daio Wasabi Stayen Stadium: 3W 5D 2L from 10 Jupiler Pro League appearances (1.40 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.40 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Their home PPG of 1.40 is noticeably stronger than their overall 0.70 — St. Truiden are significantly better at Daio Wasabi Stayen Stadium than their overall form suggests.
Kortrijk — All Games: 0W 3D 7L from 10 Jupiler Pro League fixtures this season — 0.30 PPG. Last five: D L L L D. Their scoring rate of 0.70 per game is modest, conceding 1.70 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. This season is still relatively young for Kortrijk, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Kortrijk away from home this season: 0W 3D 7L from 10 away games — 0.30 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 0.70 goals scored and 2.40 conceded per game.
The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: St. Truiden 0.70 PPG, Kortrijk 0.30 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
H2H Record
St. Truiden hold a clear advantage in this fixture, picking up 4 wins from 7 previous encounters compared to 1 for Kortrijk, with 2 draws in between.
These sides have historically produced few goals — 1.6 per contest from 7 previous meetings. The Under 2.5 market has a well-supported historical case here. The most recent clash, on 1 Sep 2024, ended 1–1 with a draw.
The historical record gives St. Truiden a meaningful edge here — 4 wins from 7 meetings is the kind of ledger that should not be discounted when the form picture is inconclusive. Even away from home, the visitors have struggled to impose themselves in this fixture.
Trading Patterns
St. Truiden in-play and half-time data (65 games, 32 at home): they score before half-time in 81% of fixtures 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 64% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 62% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 41% of games (home games).
Kortrijk in-play and half-time data (65 games, 32 at away): they score before half-time in 78% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 94% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 56% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 41% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 56% of games (away games); they fail to score in 40% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — St. Truiden 65% versus Kortrijk 46%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (St. Truiden 51% | Kortrijk 55%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects St. Truiden 1.77 xG and Kortrijk 1.10 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 0.994 / defence 1.160 | Kortrijk attack 0.837 / defence 1.238. League average goals — home 1.440 / away 1.136. Kortrijk bring a strong defensive rating of 1.238 — this is suppressing St. Truiden's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 57 St. Truiden games / 57 Kortrijk games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: St. Truiden 50% | Draw 30% | Kortrijk 20%. Fair-value odds: St. Truiden 2.00 | Draw 3.33 | Kortrijk 5.00. St. Truiden hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (30%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 55% | BTTS probability 59% | Total xG 2.87. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 55% — the 2.87 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 59% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates St. Truiden as the most likely outcome at 50% — moderate model lean. With a 30% draw probability, Draw No Bet on St. Truiden offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
Poisson projects 2.87 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 55% probability — marginal — conflicting signals conviction, supported by form averaging 2.9 goals per game — though H2H averaging only 1.6 goals per meeting points in the other direction.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 59%. Form rates corroborate: St. Truiden 80% | Kortrijk 50% BTTS from recent games.
