Liverpool vs Union Saint Gilloise Predictions

• Liverpool have four wins in four games at home this season.
• Both teams have scored in eight of Liverpool’s nine games across all competitions.
• Union SG have scored six goals across their last three away games.

Union SG test for Liverpool

Liverpool return to action for the first time since their controversial defeat at Tottenham when they entertain Belgium’s Union SG in the Europa League on Thursday.

Jurgen Klopp’s men had to come from behind to beat LASK in their opening Group E but ultimately secured a convincing 3-1 win, while Union SG were held by Toulouse as they played out a 1-1 draw in Saint-Gilles, Brussels.

Back Liverpool to win and concede

Klopp is likely to make a few changes for this Europa League game and the likes of Harvey Elliott and Ryan Gravenberch should come into the starting XI.

Liverpool should still be expected to win even if Klopp does rotate, but Union SG can at least get on the scoresheet.

The Anfield side have just one clean sheet in nine games this season and conceded against LASK and against Leicester in cup wins, while Union SG have hit six goals across their last three away games and have only failed to score in two of their 12 fixtures in total.

Nunez can return with a goal

A 3-1 win for the hosts is the correct score prediction as Liverpool scored exactly three goals in five successive games prior to their 2-1 defeat in North London last weekend.

Darwin Nunez was left on the bench at Spurs but should come into the starting XI here, having started against LASK. The Uruguayan has one goal in one Europa League games and has two goals in his last three appearances in all competitions, and he can add to his account when Union SG visit Anfield on Thursday.
