ℹ️ Team News: Union Saint-Gilloise

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Union Saint-Gilloise manager Sébastien Pocognoli to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed group. Guillaume François (unknown injury) is sidelined.

In all likelihood, Les Unionistes should employ a 3-5-2 formation in the match, handing starts to Anthony Moris, Ross Sykes, Christian Burgess, Koki Machida, Anan Khalaili, Charles Vanhoutte, Noah Sadiki, Ousseynou Niang, Anouar Ait El Hadj, Franjo Ivanovic and Promise David.

📋 Team News: KAA Gent

KAA Gent boss Danijel Milićević has to choose a team with limited availability. Davy Roef (Broken hand), Jordan Torunarigha (minor knock), Archie Brown (minor knock), Tsuyoshi Watanabe (minor knock), Hélio Varela (Elbow injury) and Max Dean (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be playing here.

We believe De Buffalo's seem most likely to elect for a 3-4-2-1 formation, giving starts to Tom Vandenberghe, Matisse Samoise, Mohamed Soumah, Samuel Kotto, Mathias Delorge, Gilles De Meyer, L. da Silva, Tiago Araújo, Aimé Omgba, Atsuki Ito and Dante Vanzeir.

⚡ Prediction

In this game, KAA Gent will surely be able to find the back of the net against this Union Saint-Gilloise side, although it possibly won’t be enough to avoid defeat.

We reckon that it will be both teams to score in a 2-1 victory for Union Saint-Gilloise when the full-time whistle blows. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
