Union Saint Gilloise vs Marseille Predictions

• Union Saint-Gilloise have lost both home matches in the league phase by 4-0 scorelines.
• Marseille registered a 2-1 comeback victory at home to Newcastle on matchday five.
• Les Phoceens have won two of their last three away fixtures in all competitions.

Marseille to boost play-off hopes

Marseille recorded a much-needed success against Newcastle in the last set of fixtures and they look capable of building on that with another three points at Union Saint-Gilloise, who have found the pedigree of their opponent difficult in the league phase.

The Belgian outfit have been convincingly beaten by the Magpies and Inter Milan at Lotto Park and their form heading into this contest doesn’t offer much optimism, with just one win in their last three assignments.

As for Marseille, they suffered a defeat to Lille on Friday to end their four-match unbeaten run, but they can make amends for that by registering their third win of the league phase.

Aubameyang can add to European tally

The experience of Gabon international Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has proven crucial to Marseille so far this season, with the former Arsenal forward scoring eight times in all competitions.

Trailing 1-0 at home to Newcastle, the 36-year-old netted a brace in the comeback win and that is the fourth goal he has scored in his last five appearances and the third of the league phase.

Aubameyang can play another important role and add to his tally against a Union side who have shipped 12 goals in their five European fixtures.
