Union Saint-Gilloise vs Anderlecht Prediction: League leaders to take a point in this fixture

Stade Joseph Marien will host the Jupiler Pro League encounter between Union Saint-Gilloise and Anderlecht. The two teams hope to win in this highly anticipated game. How will this encounter unfold?

Union Saint-Gilloise's last league game was against St. Truiden, and this side was held to a goalless draw. In the meantime, a look at this team's recent performances has not been encouraging, as they could only boost off one win. In that encounter, Union Saint-Gilloise defeated Charleroi 1-0, thanks to Mohammed Fuseini's strike from the spot in the last minute. However, other encounters saw Union Saint-Gilloise lose to Slavia Prague home and away in the Champions League qualifier and Westerlo in a league game.

Anderlecht defeated Dinamo Minsk home and away in their last matches, ending in an identical 1-0 win in the Europa League qualifier. Ludwig Augustinsson's lone goal was the difference in the first leg, while Francis Amuzu scored the lone goal in the second leg. In the meantime, Anderlecht's last league game was against KV Mechelen, which ended in a 1-3 win on the road. Heading into this game, Anderlecht have accumulated 10 points from a possible 12, leaving them seated at the top of the league on goal difference. 

Union Saint-Gilloise are not at their best yet in this league season and will have to do even better against a tough Anderlecht side. On the other hand, we saw a lot of outstanding plays from Anderlecht last season, and they have shown that they are ready to compete this season. Looking at the two teams' level of play right now, Anderlecht is ahead, but given Union Saint-Gilloise's home advantage in a top game like this, a draw with both teams settling for a 1-1 score is a good option.
