Union Saint-Gilloise vs KV Mechelen Prediction: Hosts will breeze pass

The match between Union Saint-Gilloise and KV Mechelen for round 18 of the Jupiler Pro League will take place at Stade Joseph Marien.

Union Saint-Gilloise, coming off a victory in their previous game, will be aiming for a similar outcome after their 2-1 success against Liverpool in the Europa League.

In that match, Union Saint-Gilloise had 31% possession and registered 15 shots at goal, with 6 of them on target. Mohamed El Amine Amoura (32') and Cameron Puertas (43') were the goal-scorers for Union Saint-Gilloise, while Jarell Quansah (39') found the net for Liverpool. Despite facing pressure, Union Saint-Gilloise's defense showed resilience, conceding only 4 goals in their last 6 matches.

Looking at their recent home league performances, Union Saint-Gilloise is unbeaten in their last 5 matches at home, indicating a strong record on their home turf.

In their recent First Division A match, KV Mechelen played to a 0-0 draw against Club Brugge. During the game, KV Mechelen had 44% possession and attempted 9 shots on goal, with 4 of them on target. Club Brugge, their opponents, made 13 attempts at goal, with 2 of them on target.

KV Mechelen's defensive unit has demonstrated effectiveness in their recent performances, conceding a total of 4 goals in their last 6 outings combined. Meanwhile, their forward line has been productive, managing to score 6 goals during the same period.

The home team is currently in peak form this season, and given their impressive skill set, I don't anticipate them facing a defeat in this match. I predict they will secure a victory with a substantial goal margin.
