Club Brugge and Sint-Truiden will battle for three points in a Jupiler League matchday 13 fixture on Wednesday (October 19).
The hosts are coming off a 1-0 victory at arch-rivals Anderlecht on Sunday. Casper Nielsen's 69th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two teams in the keenly contested game.

The victory helped St Truiden climb above their visitors into tenth spot, having garnered 16 points from 12 games. Club Brugge, meanwhile, are in third spot and have 25 points for their efforts after 12 games.

Club Brugge vs Sint-Truiden Prediction
Brugge are trailing league leaders Genk by six points and can hardly afford to fall further behind as they seek to win a fourth straight league crown.
The hosts are heavy favourites in this game, and their seven-game winning run against Sint-Truiden further tips the scale in their favour. They also have an almost impeccable record in front of their fans.
Sint-Truiden, meanwhile, have been one of the most compact teams in the league this season, and their games have the lowest average goals produced so far. However, Brugge are likely to have too much firepower and should claim a comfortable win.
