Union Saint-Gilloise - Gent predictions

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Union Saint-Gilloise winning is by far the most likely outcome.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact Gent are given 7.51 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

Union Saint-Gilloise missed out on locking down 3 points in their previous Pro League matchup, which they played as visitors. Predictions for the game were fairly hopeful, but they found themselves trailing behind their opponents Anderlecht at halftime. They never managed to recover, either.

Gent fans at their home stadium were quite pleased when their team took the lead in a game against Sint-Truiden, who are considered more or less equal in terms of strength. However, their excitement was quickly cut short during the sub-par second half. The lack of decisiveness cost them the game in the end, as Sint-Truiden walked off with a 1:2 away victory.

Union Saint-Gilloise are a force to be reckoned with when met on their home turf, which is the case here. They currently have a trend going on with more than 5 goals scored over the last 3 home games, and they’ll certainly be looking to continue it.

Our confidence that Gent will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

Union Saint-Gilloise already won against Gent this season, although it was a rather narrow victory. They’ll have the home-field advantage this time, though, which puts them in the position of favourites.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

To balance out this match, we suggest taking a -1.5 Asian Handicap on the obvious favourites in this game. This should increase your returns substantially while still keeping things relatively risk-free.
