Anderlecht welcome Sint-Truiden to Lotto Park for their opening game of the 2024-25 Belgian Jupiler League campaign on Saturday (July 27th). The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a comfortable 6-2 victory over Amiens in their final pre-season friendly last week.
Alexis Flips opened the scoring in the 11th minute while Robbie Ure scored a hat-trick and Kristian Arnstad scored a brace. Kylian Kaiboue and Mounir Chouiar found the back of the net for Amiens.

Sint-Truiden, meanwhile, fell to a 3-0 loss to Koln in a friendly. Tim Lemperle, Damion Downs and Florian Dietz scored to help the Germans claim the win.
STVV will begin their campaign this weekend. They ended last season with a 2-0 defeat away to Gent that left them in ninth spot.
