St. Truiden vs Omonia Nicosia — Tips & Analysis

Under 2.75: Omonia have gone quiet in front of goal in Europe, and that is the strongest reason to want a low-scoring game. They scored three goals across four qualifying legs this summer against Kairat Almaty and Lincoln Red Imps. Ten of their last 16 games have finished with fewer than 3 goals in them. The defending is the real strength, one loss in their last 16 and well under a goal a game let in. They score more than 2 goals a game overall, but that comes from the Cypriot league and it has not travelled. St. Truiden have been steady at Stayen, winning 3 and losing 1 of their 6 there, scoring almost 2 a game and letting in under one. This is their first European game of the season, dropped straight in after finishing third in Belgium. Omonia should control the ball without doing much with it, and St. Truiden should get one. A 1-1 is the way this looks. The warning is what St. Truiden have served up in their league games so far. They have been wide open, a 3-3 at Cercle Brugge and a 1-1 with Lommel, and 6 of their last 12 games had 3 or more goals. That would beat us if this turns into an end to end night, but we still want the low-scoring one.
