St. Truiden vs Union Saint-Gilloise Prediction: League leaders ease through

The 10th round of the Jupiler Pro League will include a match between St. Truiden and Union Saint-Gilloise at Stayen. Both teams will enter this competition with the intention of bringing home a victory. In the meantime, Saint-Gilloise is now in first place in the standings; do you believe they will be able to keep this slot, or do you think the host will stun them here?

St. Truiden enters this game coming off a tie against Club Brugge in the last game in the First Division A in a match that ended 1-1. During that game, St. Truiden held possession for 51% of the time and had 12 shots on goal, with only three of them finding the target. Aboubakary Koita was the only player for St. Truiden to score their team's only goal in the 66th minute. On the other end of the field, Club Brugge had 20 shots on goal, with 7 of them landing in the correct target. The goal for Club Brugge was scored by Andreas Skov Olsen in the 47th minute. In recent years, it has been an unusual occurrence for St. Truiden to demonstrate a resolute defensive stance. They should be concerned about the fact that St. Truiden's defense has been broken into in 5 of their last 6 matches, resulting in a total of 9 goals conceded over that span of play.

Union Saint-Gilloise will be looking to turn things around after suffering a loss in their previous match in the Europa League tournament, which was at the hands of Liverpool. During that game, Union Saint-Gilloise had 27% possession of the ball and 6 shots on goal, with only 2 of those shots finding their mark. Liverpool had 19 shots on goal, and they were only able to get 9 of them on target. Both Ryan Gravenberch and Diogo Jota scored goals for Liverpool, the first one coming in the 44th minute and the second one in the 92nd minute. According to the statistics, Union Saint-Gilloise have allowed opponents to score in 5 of their most recent 6 matches, for a total of 7 goals scored by rival teams in those contests. Union Saint-Gilloise enters this match having not suffered a defeat in previous two matches played away from home in the league.

Regardless of who wins this match, it should prove to be a thrilling battle in which both teams are expected to conduct themselves with dignity. Union Saint-Gilloise are currently in first place in the rankings, although St. Truiden have been playing well as of late. Union Saint-Gilloise are also coming off a loss to Liverpool in the UEFA Europa League, so they will be eager to bounce back to their winning ways. As a result, despite the fact that I anticipate that this contest will be quite challenging, I will be rooting for the away club to triumph.
