Westerlo vs Union Saint Gilloise Predictions

• Westerlo have only won one of their last competitive matches
• Union Saint-Gilloise are unbeaten in four competitive fixtures
• The visitors are unbeaten in three games against Westerlo

Away success on the cards

Union Saint-Gilloise will look to learn from last season’s mistakes when they face Westerlo in their opening game of the new Belgian Pro League campaign.

David Hubert’s team finished top of the regular season standings, only to then finish runner-up after the Champions’ play-offs.

Only two league defeats during the first phase of the season show how much potential Union Saint-Gilloise have, and they have started the new season with two draws, scoring four goals.

Westerlo are not on the same level as Club Brugge and Bodo/Glimt, whom Union Saint-Gilloise faced in the last week, and they are winless in eight at home.

Home comforts can reduce the damage

Westerlo’s recent home form is dismal, with the hosts winning only one of their last 11 games in front of their own fans in all competitions.

However, they do provide entertainment, as they have scored in eight of those fixtures.

Both teams have netted in eight of the last ten meetings between the two clubs, but with Union Saint-Gilloise already in a rhythm after playing twice this season, they should have too much firepower and sharpness for their hosts.
