Union Saint-Gilloise vs Club Brugge Prediction: Home team will not disappoint

The current round of Jupiler Pro League matches will take place at Stade Joseph Marien and include a match between Union Saint-Gilloise and Club Brugge.

The previous match between Union Saint-Gilloise and Antwerp ended in a 1-1 tie in the First Division A Playoffs, so they come into this game on that momentum. During that game, Union Saint-Gilloise managed to obtain 45% of the possession and had three shots on goal, with only one of them finding the back of the net. Royal Antwerp had a total of eight shots on goal, but only three of them were on target. Vincent Janssen scored in the 14th for Antwerp. In the most recent games, Union Saint-Gilloise has not displayed much defensive tenacity. Union Saint-Gilloise have let opponents score in five of their most recent six matches, resulting in a total of seven goals conceded along the way.

Club Brugge will be looking to make amends for their loss against Genk in the last game that was played in the First Division A - Play-Offs competition. Club Brugge had 59% possession of the ball during that encounter, and they had 19 shots on goal, with only 4 of them finding the target. Hans Vanaken was the one who put the ball in the back of the net for Club Brugge in the 64th minute. On the other hand, Genk had 13 shots on goal, just five of which were successful in hitting the target. The goals for Genk came from Joseph Paintsil in the 12th, Patrik Hroovsk in the 86th, and Patrik Hroovsk in the 81st. Club Brugge has scored a total of 14 goals in their past six matches against their opponents. In addition, Club Brugge has not gone a single one of those matches without scoring at least once. During that time frame, their defenders have allowed 11 goals to be scored into the net that they are guarding.

Union Saint-Gilloise and Club Brugge have only competed against one another a total of eight times, with Union Saint-Gilloise claiming victory in only one of those contests and Club Brugge prevailing in four of those contests. A draw decided three of the games in total. In the head-to-head matchups between the two teams, Union Saint-Gilloise scored seven goals, while Club Brugge managed to score eleven.

The squad playing at home continues their defense of their championship here, and a victory for them here might pave the way for them. As a result, I anticipate that they will prevail, although I also anticipate that Club Brugge will score at least one goal.
