Command Analysis
Union St.Gilloise
BelgiumCurrent form
Union approached the start of the season as a clear contender for a place in the top three, but the opening period was a failure. For a long time, Sebastien Pocognoli team was gaining form, but eventually managed to improve and currently reached the sixth line in the table. The Unionists are six points behind the third Anderlecht and such a handicap leaves a chance for success. Having beaten Westerlo 3:1 at home in the last round, Union extended its unbeaten streak in all tournaments to 11 matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Teklab, Francois and Traore are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Union have not lost in their last 11 matches – seven wins and four draws
- Union have conceded in four of their last five matches
Probable line-up: Maurice - Lapoussin, Machida, Burgess, McAllister, Kelali - Boufal, Vanhoute, Van De Perre - David, Ivanovic.
Club Brugge
BelgiumCurrent form
Brugge approached the start of the season as the main contender for the championship title, but made a lot of mistakes in the first rounds.

Brugge is now only one point behind the leader, and is four points ahead of third-placed Anderlecht.

1.85Tip and bets
Union has seriously improved recently, looks more than solid in the game, is traditionally aggressive in front on its home field and is unlikely to change its style today. In the last 12 matches, Brugge has conceded from the Unionists and it is unlikely that this series will be interrupted today, but at the same time the Black and Blues are also in great shape and have their trump cards in attack - an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.79
Bet on the outcome
Union has improved both in terms of football quality and stability recently and will certainly strive to move up the table. However, it will be difficult to build on their success – Brugge have come very close to the leader after their victory over Genk and will certainly strive to become a leader. The Black and Blues are also in excellent shape, winning victory after victory, and the visitors look objectively stronger today.
Bet - Asian handicap (0) on Brugge. This bet is offered for 1.89
Bet on corners
Union will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Brugge are quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.71
