Genk vs Sint-Truiden Prediction
Genk were narrowly pipped to the title last season and will have their sights set on getting back to the summit of Belgian football. The title race is tight at this early stage, so a win will keep Wouter Vrancken's side within touching distance of table-toppers Gent.
Sint-Truiden, meanwhile, might be outsiders but have had relative success in this fixture in recent years. They have also started the season brightly and are unbeaten in their last two visits to Genk.
Genk tend to be unpredictable, and their continental exertions could be detrimental to their performance. However, expect the hosts to do just enough to claim a narrow win.
