Form Guide — Last 5
Omonia Nicosia
Omonia’s recent five‑game run reads D‑W‑L, highlighted by a 1‑1 draw away at Lincoln Red Imps and a 1‑0 home win over the same opponents. The loss 0‑1 to St. Truiden away shows they can be breached, and the mixed form suggests they lack the consistency needed to stop a side with a higher away xG.
St. Truiden
St. Truiden have only a win listed in their last five league games, and their most recent match‑by‑match entry is a 1‑0 home victory over Omonia. That recent success against the same opponent underlines their ability to score and keep a clean sheet, supporting the view that they are primed to repeat the result on the road.
Head-to-Head
The latest head‑to‑head meeting on 20 August 2026 ended 1‑0 to St. Truiden, a result that aligns with the model’s prediction of a Truiden win.
