The Top Prediction and Betting Tips for Union St Gilloise vs Leuven

Half-Time Union St Gilloise

The reason why The Unionists are Genk’s runners-up is because, like them, they win most of their matches. Despite the last draw, the team played very well, so our first prediction is that they will secure all three points at home. Leuven is a good team, but they tend to get inconsistent results and lose to the teams at the top of the table.

Over 2.5 Goals

The series of matchups between these two teams is characterised by a high number of goals. In 5 of the last 6 head-to-head meetings, there have been more than 2.5 goals. Union St Gilloise scored 3 goals in the first match of this season against Leuven. The home side is second and the visitors are fifth in the table of top-scoring teams. We expect at least 3 goals on this occasion. 

BTTS

The away team needs to win, so we expect them to be very offensive, just like in their last game. Leuven’s coach already had the bad experience of losing 3-0, so just defending is not a good idea. Union St Gilloise scored at least 1 goal in each of their last 6 matches, so we expect to see BTTS in this matchup.

Union St Gilloise vs Leuven Preview: Everyone Wants To Qualify

Union St Gilloise

Karel Geraerts’ team drew the previous matchday but still retained their second place. Their last opponent was Cercle Brugge, who was a weak team but caused problems for The Unionists.

Saint Gillois had 7 shots on target and their opponent only 1, however, it was Cercle Brugge who opened the scoring, and it was only in the final minutes that The Unionists equalised.

Karel Geraerts´s Team Updates:

Garaerts’ team, as well as being favourites, have no worries as they have their full squad. Aware that their opponents will be without their leading scorers, there are no excuses for not winning this home match. The lead is still a long way off, but the way to close the gap is to secure points in this type of match.

Leuven

Coach Marc Brys was a little disappointed with the previous matchday’s result, in which they drew at home against a bottom-placed team. The point was not enough to move them up the standings.

Leuven dominated the whole match with 65% possession and 18 shots, but only Jon Dagur Porsteinsson put the ball in the back of the net. It looked like that goal would be enough to win the three points, but Eupen equalised in the 92nd minute.

Marc Brys´s Team Update:

After the suspension of Hamza Mendyl, there are now three players that coach Marc Brys will not be able to count on. The biggest problem for Leuve will be in attack, as he will be without his two most important strikers. First of all Mario Gonzales, is at the top of the scoring charts with 13 goals. Mathieu Maertens, who scored 4 goals this season, will also be unavailable. It will be interesting to see how the coach handles this situation.
