BRUSSELS (Interstat) — A crucial late-season matchup in the Belgian First Division A will see RSC Anderlecht visit Sint-Truiden on Thursday, with both sides seeking momentum in the final stretch of the campaign.

The game, scheduled for April 23, 2026, at the Stayen Stadium, pits a visiting Anderlecht side in strong recent form against a Sint-Truiden team struggling for goals. The head-to-head history suggests a close contest, with the last two meetings producing a 2-2 draw in Sint-Truiden last October and a 2-1 Anderlecht victory in Brussels last December.

Anderlecht arrives with confidence after a 2-1 road win at Mechelen on April 18, extending a run that has seen the Brussels-based club score multiple goals in four of its last five league matches. This offensive surge includes a 3-1 victory over Gent and a 5-1 rout of Sporting Oud-Heverlee. However, defensive consistency has been an issue, with the team conceding four goals in a loss to Club Brugge and four in a defeat to Gent earlier in the season.

Sint-Truiden, meanwhile, is mired in an attacking drought. The Canaries played to a scoreless draw at Gent on April 19, marking their third consecutive match without a goal and extending their winless run to four games. Their last victory was a 4-1 triumph at Dender on Feb. 21. Home form has been mixed, with a 4-0 win over Westerlo in February followed more recently by narrow losses to top sides.

The statistical projection service Interstat forecasts a 1-1 draw for Thursday’s encounter, a result that would extend Sint-Truiden’s scoring struggles while halting Anderlecht’s recent run of finding the net at least twice.

With playoff positioning in the balance, Anderlecht will look to its in-form attack to overpower a Sint-Truiden defense that has kept two clean sheets in its last five outings. The home side will be desperate to rediscover its scoring touch from earlier in the winter to upset one of the league’s traditional powers.
