Union Saint-Gilloise - KV Oostende betting tips and odds

KV Oostende will have little to hope for against Union Saint-Gilloise. The home charges are bursting with confidence and it would take a small miracle for the away team to take anything from this game.

KV Oostende stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 9.50 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

This game’s hosts are coming on the back of a narrow HT/FT victory in their most recent away game. They were facing Standard Liège, who were largely considered underdogs despite playing at home. Either way, Union Saint-Gilloise were already leading at the 45-minute mark and tuned the lead into an encouraging 2:3 victory.

KV Oostende’s defeat in the previous round was somewhat expected, given the 4.00 odds top online bookies offered for their away win. The favourites, Westerlo, took the lead early and dominated the game, ultimately winning 6:0.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Pro League engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

The two teams already met this season in the Pro League, with Union Saint-Gilloise taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.47, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
