Sint-Truiden 0-2 Westerlo result, stats and report

Westerlo claimed a deserved 2-0 victory at Sint-Truiden on Sunday, with Norman Bassette and Cisse Sandra scoring either side of half-time to leave the home side with nothing to show for 17 shots.

SK Beveren shut out Sint-Truiden with a disciplined second-half performance in the Belgian Pro League, with Chris Lokesa's penalty and Jearl Margaritha's finish doing the damage. Sint-Truiden had the ball and wasted it completely.

Westerlo beat Standard Liège 4-2 in the Belgian Pro League despite being second-best in possession and attacks for much of the match. Clinical finishing and a ruthless second-half performance did the job.

Sint-Truiden travelled to Antwerp and left with a 4-1 win that was as clinical as it was damning. Antwerp had the ball, the corners, and the attacks. Sint-Truiden had the goals.

Sint-Truiden dismantled La Louvière with a thoroughly dominant 4-0 victory, with Samed Bazdar scoring twice in the second half to put the result beyond any doubt. La Louvière never competed at the required level and were overrun from start to finish.

Westerlo were taken apart at Mechelen on Saturday, conceding four without reply as Shunsuke Saito scored twice and the visitors offered almost nothing in return.

Mechelen have not won a single Belgian Pro League match across their last ten, and Sint-Truiden arrive on Sunday having beaten them 3-0 in the most recent meeting between these sides. Something has to give.

Westerlo head into Sunday's Belgian Pro League clash with three defeats from their last five and a defence that has shipped 14 goals in that run. Antwerp arrive with their own inconsistencies, but the head-to-head record tells a very clear story.
