Sint Truidense host Royale Union SG at Stayen on Matchday 4 of the Pro League 2026/27. Union arrive unbeaten in three league games this season, sitting sixth with seven points and a goal difference of +7. Sint Truidense have two draws and one win from their three matches so far, but the team under Frédéric De Meyer has been in sharp domestic form lately, beating Antwerp 4-1 in their most recent outing. That result gives this fixture an interesting edge. Union are the clear favourites on paper, but Sint Truidense are scoring goals and playing at home.
Two players stand out heading into this fixture. Ilias Sebaoui has been Sint Truidense’s most dangerous attacker across the last five matches, scoring three goals and contributing three assists while accumulating 24 total shots. For Union, Raul Florucz has netted four goals in five appearances and leads his side’s attacking output with consistency in front of goal.
A hot stat worth noting: Sint Truidense scored eight goals across just three Pro League matches this season, making them one of the more prolific sides in the early standings despite their mid-table position.

Sint Truidense vs Royale Union SG Prediction
Union SG are the better side in terms of squad quality and seasonal form, and their 3-0 win over Anderlecht in the last league match signals a team operating near their ceiling right now. David Hubert’s men have won two and drawn one of their three Pro League games, conceding only once. The bookmakers reflect this, pricing Union as 47% favourites.
Sint Truidense’s home record matters here, though. They beat Antwerp 4-1 at Stayen recently, and their 3-3 draw with Cercle Brugge at home earlier showed they are capable of producing goals in large numbers. The head-to-head record leans toward Union winning, but Sint Truidense did claim a 2-1 victory in the last meeting at home in April 2026, defying the odds that time.
We predict a Royale Union SG win, but both teams are likely to score. Sint Truidense’s attacking output is too significant to expect a clean sheet from Union, and Union’s firepower makes it difficult to back a Sint Truidense result. The best value sits with Union SG on the moneyline combined with both teams scoring.
- Main Tip: Royale Union SG to win
- Value Bet: Both Teams To Score – Yes
Sint Truidense commit a high number of fouls across their recent matches, averaging 11 per game over the last five. Their yellow card tally of 13 in five matches matches Union’s exactly, suggesting both sides play with a physical edge. Union have slightly lower pass accuracy in absolute terms (1,450 out of 1,798 passes), but they create more from open play. Sint Truidense’s pass volume is higher (2,316 passes attempted), pointing to a possession-oriented setup under De Meyer. Union’s three red cards in five matches is a factor to watch, as they could be stretched at the back if discipline slips.

Team Analysis
Sint Truidense’s last five matches have been a mix of sharp wins and costly defeats. Their most recent result was an impressive 4-1 home victory over Antwerp, a result that showed real attacking intent. Before that, they fell 2-4 to Omonia Nicosia in a Europa Conference League qualifier, after beating the same side 1-0 in the first leg. The 3-3 draw with Cercle Brugge and the 1-1 stalemate against Lommel SK round out a spell that shows a team capable of scoring freely but prone to defensive lapses. Ryan Merlen has been active in the middle, contributing two goals and three assists, and Nelson Ishiwatari adds energy and directness from midfield with a goal and an assist to his name.
Royale Union SG go into this fixture on the back of a 3-0 win over Anderlecht, one of their most complete performances of the season. Their last five games tell a story of a side finding consistency after a mixed pre-season period. They lost 2-3 to Bodo Glimt in a European tie, drew 3-3 with the same opponents in the reverse fixture, and beat Westerlo 5-1 in a dominant league performance. The 0-0 draw with Zulte Waregem was their only frustrating result. Guilherme Smith has contributed two goals and two assists across five games, while Besfort Zeneli adds creativity and a goal from his wide role. Florucz’s four goals in five matches make him the man to stop.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Royale Union SG the Favourite
- Moneyline Sint Truidense 3.50 | Royale Union SG 2.00
- Draw 3.30
- Over/Under Over 2.5 – available | Under 2.5 – available
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes – available | No – available
The 2.00 price on Union SG looks fair given their form, squad depth, and head-to-head dominance, but it leaves limited value on its own. Sint Truidense at 3.50 carries genuine interest given they are at home and scored four against Antwerp last time out. The draw at 3.30 reflects genuine uncertainty, as Sint Truidense have drawn two of their three league games this season. We lean toward Union to win, but the BTTS market at a competitive price is where the real value lives in this fixture.
Possible Starting Lineups
Sint Truidense Possible Starting Eleven

- GK: Leobrian Kokubo
- DF: Visar Musliu, Robert-Jan Vanwesemael, Shogo Taniguchi, Joedrick Pupe
- MF: Abdoulaye Sissako, Nelson Ishiwatari, Ryan Merlen, Ryotaro Araki
- FW: Ilias Sebaoui, Samed Baždar
Sint Truidense have been lining up in a 3-4-2-1 in recent matches, but the personnel available suggests a flexible 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 shape depending on the opponent. Kokubo keeps his place in goal after featuring in all five recent matches. Musliu and Vanwesemael are the defensive constants, with Vanwesemael also contributing an assist from the back line. Sebaoui leads the attack and is the player Union will need to manage carefully, given his 24 shots and six direct goal contributions across five games. Baždar, who has two goals in three appearances, offers a strong option to start alongside him.
Royale Union SG Possible Starting Eleven

- GK: Vic Chambaere
- DF: Kevin Mac Allister, Louis Patris, Massire Sylla, Nikki Havenaar
- MF: Kamiel Van De Perre, Rob Schoofs, Darius Olaru, Besfort Zeneli
- FW: Raul Florucz, Guilherme Smith
Union line up in a 4-2-3-1, which has been their preferred shape across recent matches. Chambaere starts in goal despite competition from Hervé Koffi. Mac Allister has been a reliable presence at the back despite picking up five yellow cards across five games, a discipline concern worth noting. Florucz leads the line and is the focal point of Union’s attack. Zeneli and Smith provide width and creativity, with Smith’s two goals and two assists making him a constant threat. Olaru adds a goal contribution from midfield, giving Union depth in their attacking transitions.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Royale Union SG arrive at Stayen as the stronger side on form, quality, and head-to-head record. They have scored eight goals in three league games and kept one clean sheet, while Sint Truidense have shown they can score but also give up goals at the back. Four of the last five head-to-head meetings produced a Union win or goals for both sides.
Sint Truidense’s 4-1 win over Antwerp last time out is encouraging, and the home crowd will push them. To be honest, we do not expect them to keep Union quiet for ninety minutes. With Florucz and Sebaoui both in form, goals at both ends feel likely. We predict a Royale Union SG win with both teams scoring, and we back over 2.5 total goals as a strong secondary play given the attacking output both sides have shown across the last five matches.
