Gent - Union Saint-Gilloise predictions

Gent will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Union Saint-Gilloise don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 3.25 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

Most bookies see Union Saint-Gilloise as the favourites in this matchup, though it’s important to know things can go either way. Their victory is currently priced at 2.15, indicating that the hosts have a fighting chance.

Although most experts favoured Standard Liège in the previous round, Gent came out on top in the end, after securing an important 0:1 victory. The first half ended in a stalemate, but a thrilling tie-breaker in the second half earned them important three points away.

The result of Union Saint-Gilloise’s previous home match against Club Brugge was a somewhat disappointing 2:2 draw. The result is not bad considering they were tagged as underdogs going in – but it’s a shame their first-half lead went to waste.

Though the 5 concessions over the past 3 away games for Gent may not directly affect this particular match, such a history may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Union Saint-Gilloise have scored 7 times in their previous 3 games. If their attacking line continues the fine scoring form, the Over markets seem like a sure bet.

Union Saint-Gilloise are seen as the stronger team – after all, they’re expected to win this game despite the home-field disadvantage. However, they failed to defeat Gent in the home game they played earlier in the season.

An exciting match is in store as both teams have their full lineups available due to no suspensions or injuries.
