Union Saint-Gilloise vs Anderlecht Prediction: Dominant Gilloise to make it to next round

Union Saint-Gilloise is set to host Anderlecht at the Stade Joseph Marien in the quarter-finals of the Belgian Cup on Wednesday. Both teams come into this match with impressive unbeaten runs that they will be eager to prolong. Here is a detailed match preview along with potential betting opportunities.

The home team earned their spot in the quarter-finals with a 2-0 victory on the road against SK Beveren in December. Notably, they sealed the win with own goals from Goduine Koyalipou and Sheldon Bateau during added time in the second half. Maintaining an undefeated streak in their last 10 games across all competitions, they are set to compete for the second time this year following a 4-0 victory against St. Gallen in a club-friendly last week.

Anderlecht has maintained an unbeaten record in their last 11 games across all competitions. In their recent match, they secured a 2-0 home victory over Cercle Brugge in the league. Anders Dreyer opened the scoring in the 10th minute with an assist from Ludwig Augustinsson, and Luis Vázquez doubled the lead in the second half. Throughout this unbeaten run, Anderlecht experienced three draws while notching eight wins.

Union Saint-Gilloise has suffered only one defeat in their last 17 games across all competitions, managing to score at least twice in 12 of those matches. Impressively, they are on an eight-game winning streak at home, scoring 18 goals and conceding just six during that period. Despite both teams entering the match in good form, given Union Saint-Gilloise's recent successful run against the visitors, we predict they will secure a narrow victory. Additionally, considering Anderlecht's scoring prowess, we expect them to find the net in this matchup as well.
