📰 Team News: Union Saint-Gilloise

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just a single fitness concern for the Union Saint-Gilloise manager Alexander Blessin to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust group. Fedde Leysen (Shoulder injury) will miss out.

It’s our opinion that Les Unionistes should employ a 3-5-2 system for the game, beginning the first half with Anthony Moris, Kevin Mac Allister, Christian Burgess, Koki Machida, A. Castro-Montes, Mathias Rasmussen, Charles Vanhoutte, Cameron Puertas, Loic Lapoussin, Mohamed Amoura and Gustaf Nilsson.

📋 Team News: Club Brugge

Club Brugge manager Nicky Hayen has some current player fitness concerns. Casper Nielsen (Thigh problems), Andreas Skov Olsen (Hip injury) and Simon Mignolet (Hamstring injury) will miss out on this game.

From our viewpoint, Blauw-Zwart seem likely to play in a 4-3-3 system by sending out Nordin Jackers, Kyriani Sabbe, Brandon Mechele, Jorne Spileers, Bjorn Meijer, Hugo Vetlesen, Eder Alvarez, Hans Vanaken, Michal Skoras, Thiago Rodrigues and Antonio Nusa.

💭 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Club Brugge will need to apply a lot of pressure to break down this Union Saint-Gilloise team who we reckon should get the vital goal that wins it.

Therefore, we predict a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 victory for Union Saint-Gilloise at the conclusion of the game.
