Union Saint-Gilloise - Westerlo predictions

This match is somewhat one-sided, but not the most imbalanced clash we’ve seen. The odds are heavily in the hosts’ favour, who will likely walk away with 3 more points to the tally.

With a price of 9.93 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear Westerlo will likely not fare well against Union Saint-Gilloise. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

Not many punters were surprised when Union Saint-Gilloise won the previous round 0:1. They may have been the visitors, but most predictions and bookies saw them as the stronger team. While they failed to gain a convincing advantage in the first half, the second half decidedly went their way.

Westerlo are coming off from a crushing 0:3 home loss. Almost no-one expected that match to end the way it did. Westerlo were on equal footing with OH Leuven going in, yet they struggled to keep up and the whole affair turned into a wash for them.

Union Saint-Gilloise have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Westerlo have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Pro League. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Union Saint-Gilloise already won against Westerlo 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.

Thankfully, Westerlo will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

We recommend taking up Pncl’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 5.77. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
