Union Saint-Gilloise vs KV Mechelen Prediction: Home team are on the right track

The Jupiler Pro League match between Union Saint-Gilloise and KV Mechelen that is scheduled to take place during the 30th round will take place at Stadium Joseph-Marien. The home club is a heavy favorite to win this match, but the away team, Mechelen, will be looking to build on their recent victory in the league over St. Truiden last weekend.

After defeating Genk by a score of 1-2 in the First Division A, Union Saint-Gilloise will be looking to repeat their success and achieve a similar outcome in their upcoming match. Throughout that match, Union Saint-Gilloise had thirty percent possession of the ball and thirteen shots on goal, five of which were on target. Bart Nieuwkoop in the 42nd minute and Simon Adingra in the 44th minute were the ones to score for Union Saint-Gilloise. Genk had a total of 12 shots on goal, just six of which were successful. The goal for Genk was scored by Bryan Heynen in the 24th minute. At least three goals have been scored in each of the past five and a half matches that Union Saint-Gilloise has participated in over the past six years. Over these games, their opponents scored a total of 14 goals, while Union Saint-Gilloise was only able to get 11 for themselves.

KV Mechelen will enter this encounter following a victory over Sint-Truidense VV in their most recent play, which resulted in a 1-0 victory for KV Mechelen in the First Division A match. During that match, KV Mechelen was successful in controlling the ball 58% of the time and had 8 shots on goal, with 4 of them finding the back of the net. Geoffry Hairemans was the only player for KV Mechelen to score at the 84-minute mark. On the other end, Sint-Truiden had seven shots on goal, but only one of them was successful in hitting the target. KV Mechelen, led by Steven Defour, have been rewarded for their attempts on goal a total of seven times throughout the course of their most recent six matches. The combined total of the goals that have been scored against them in the same matches brings the total to nine.

In light of Saint-Gilloise's poor performances against the visitors, we have every reason to believe that they will be able to turn things around and emerge victorious from this match. The fact that the home team's chances of winning the league are dependent on their performance in this match, however, leads us to anticipate that they will put out their maximum effort to come out on top. As we anticipate that Mechelen's offense will be effective in this game, another viable alternative to think about is placing a wager on the fact that both teams will score goals.
