Union Saint-Gilloise vs RWDM Prediction: Both teams hoping to get back to winning ways

The round 23 Jupiler Pro League clash between Union Saint-Gilloise and RWDM will take place at Stade Joseph Marien. Let's delve into a preview of this upcoming match and formulate a prediction.

Union Saint-Gilloise enters this upcoming fixture on the back of a 2-2 draw in the First Division A against RSC Anderlecht. During that match, Union Saint-Gilloise held 41% possession and made 14 attempts on goal, 8 of which were on target. Gustaf Nilsson (8') and Mohamed El Amine Amoura (29') were the goal-scorers for Union Saint-Gilloise, while RSC Anderlecht, with 11 attempts at goal and 2 on target, saw goals from Jan Vertonghen (35') and Thorgan Hazard (92'). Notably, Union Saint-Gilloise has struggled to keep clean sheets in recent games, conceding in 5 of their last 6 matches and allowing a total of 6 goals during this period.

After a defeat against KV Mechelen in their recent First Division A match, RWDM and their dedicated supporters will be optimistic about securing a more favorable outcome in the upcoming game. In the previous match, RWDM held only 23% possession and managed 6 shots on goal, 3 of which were on target. Pathé Mboup (86') found the back of the net for RWDM, while KV Mechelen, with 24 attempts at goal and 8 on target, saw goals from Patrick Pflücke (72', 98') and Rob Schoofs (96'). RWDM has been involved in high-scoring encounters, with a total of 20 goals celebrated in their last six games, averaging 3.33 goals per fixture. Notably, their opponents have contributed 15 goals to this overall tally.

Union Saint-Gilloise is performing exceptionally well and maintaining an excellent streak. Conversely, RWDM has suffered defeats in their last five matches, displaying a lackluster performance. They seem unlikely to improve, especially against a determined Union Saint-Gilloise aiming to secure the league title. Consequently, I predict that the hosts will emerge victorious with a three-goal margin in what appears to be a straightforward match.
