Union Saint-Gilloise vs Union Berlin Preview

This season has been a spectacular one for Union Saint-Gilloise, including winning their Europa League group. After a blip of a four-match winless streak, the Les Unionistes have won either side of the first leg draw with Union Berlin. Their form is trending in the right direction as they look to make history under the lights on Thursday.

The same cannot be said for the visitors. Die Eisernen have won just once in seven matches, and have failed to score three times in that period. Their early-season form was never sustainable as their unimpressive expected numbers indicated, but this run of form has come at a bad time. The club from the capital have fallen to fourth in the Bundesliga, and are at serious risk of being knocked out of European competition here.

In general, Union Saint-Gilloise have been more a front-foot team than Union Berlin, but part of that can be attributed to the standard of their domestic leagues. Union Berlin had 65% possession (far above their season average), and 20 shots to Union Saint-Gilloise’s seven in the first leg.

Union Saint-Gilloise vs Union Berlin Prediction

Generally, Union Berlin’s matches have been low-scoring this season. They have relied on a well-organized defense and good finishing to stage a surprise top-four push in the Bundesliga. Only one team in the top flight of German football has seen over 2.5 goals land less often.

This over has hit in five of Union Saint-Gilloise’s last six in all competitions, including the first-leg thriller. They had a 3-2 win and another 3-3 draw in their home matches during the group stage but fell 1-0 at Joseph Marien Stadium when Union Berlin visited.

Having returned to form, Union Saint-Gilloise looks great value to at least force extra time in our Union Saint-Gilloise vs Union Berlin prediction. This will be more like the first leg than their two encounters in 2022.

Union Saint-Gilloise vs Union Berlin Picks: Union Saint-Gilloise to win or draw and over 1.5 total goals (+120)
