St. Truiden vs Union Saint-Gilloise Prediction: Gilloise have a lot to offer in this fixture

In the Belgian Pro League, St. Truiden will take on Union Saint-Gilloise at Daio Wasabi Stayen. In the last meeting of this fixture, Union Saint-Gilloise secured a home win. How will the home team react in this fixture?

St. Truiden's winless run continued the previous weekend against the newly promoted Dender side. However, heading into week 5, their hopes will be to take maximum points after picking their first point of the season in a 3-3 draw in a home game. In that encounter, St. Truiden got their goals through Kahveh Zahiroleslam's brace in the first half and a 53rd-minute strike from Adriano Bertaccini. In the meantime, their first three games of the season ended in defeats to Anderlecht, Charleroi, and Antwerp. The home team heads into this game seated in the bottom spot of the standings with five goals scored, and 14 conceded in just four matches. 

Union Saint-Gilloise's last league game was against Charleroi, and this team succeeded in securing a win. In a match that ended 1-0, Union Saint-Gilloise needed a last-minute strike from Mohammed Fuseini from the spot to take maximum points, having been held goalless all through the match. However, it is crucial to note that prior encounters to that win saw the visiting side go three matches without a win, losing to Slavia Prague in Champions League qualifying matches and also a defeat at the hands of Westerlo in the league. 

Union Saint-Gilloise and St. Truiden's last five matches ended in one win for the home team. However, Union Saint-Gilloise secured wins in each of the previous three matches of this fixture, while one game ended in a 1-1 draw. 

St. Truiden will play at home, but they are not at the level of picking a win. This season, there is no positivity to take from the performances of the home team. While Union Saint-Gilloise have not played at the level we used to see in the past years, their focus on winning the league should have a huge impact in this fixture. This is going to be a game of luck, and with what the two teams could do here, a win for Union Saint-Gilloise with goals is the best possibility.
