RWDM vs Union Saint-Gilloise Prediction: Both sides have a good winning chance

The fifth round of play in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League will feature a match between RWDM and Union Saint-Gilloise. The match will take place at Edmond Machtens-Stadion. The home team managed to rescue a tie in their most recent match against Antwerp, despite the fact that the odds were heavily stacked against them. On the other hand, the away team won their most recent match with a decisive victory against Cercle Brugge.

RWDM's previous games resulted in a win over Cercle Brugge, a loss to Club Brugge and Valenciennes, and two draws against Standard Liège and Antwerp. In those games, the home team only managed to score five goals while giving up 11 during the course of those matchups. During the current league season, RWDM has averaged one goal in every game it has participated in. In terms of disciplinary actions, the host team was issued 13 yellow cards but none of the more serious red cards, and they committed an average of 15.29 fouls over all of their matches. The RWDM team has an average rating of 6.53 after each encounter. RWDM appears to be lacking in some capacity to maintain possession of the ball, as evidenced by their season-long average of 42.43%.

Union Saint-Gilloise comes into this match having won two of their most recent five matches against Lugano and Cercle Brugge. They have lost one of their most recent five matches to Genk, and they have drawn two of their most recent five matchups against Antwerp and Toulouse. During that stretch of games, the away team scored 8 goals while only allowing 3 goals to be scored against them. When playing away from home, Union Saint-Gilloise had a goal-scoring average of 1.71 and a goal-against average of 1.29. The squad was shown 13 yellow cards but none of the more serious red cards, although they committed a total of 98 fouls during the match. The Union Saint-Gilloise squad receives a rating of 6.66 on average per game. This season, Union Saint-Gilloise has maintained a very respectable ball possession percentage of 52.86% on average across the board.

Only four times in recently have RWDM and Union Saint-Gilloise competed against one another, with RWDM claiming victory only once and Union Saint-Gilloise prevailing three times. In the head-to-head matchups between the two teams, RWDM scored 5 goals, while Union Saint-Gilloise managed to score 7 goals.

After their road victory against Cercle Brugge in their most recent game, Union Saint-Gilloise resembled the squad that I had been cheering for during the entire season. On the other hand, RWDM played exceptionally well away from home the previous weekend in order to keep a powerful team like Antwerp scoreless, and we can now without a doubt anticipate another solid performance from the home team here. However, the away team possesses the characteristics that I'm searching for in this contest, and despite the fact that I believe it's likely that both teams will find the back of the net after reviewing their previous four meetings, I'm still going to put my money on Union Saint-Gilloise to prevail.
