Union Saint-Gilloise vs Club Brugge Prediction: This match will go down to the wire

In one of the title-deciding matches, Union Saint-Gilloise and Club Brugge will battle it out at Stade Joseph Marien. Let us look into this game and make a prediction. 

Union Saint-Gilloise are off their third straight defeat in the league and will come here hoping to change the trend. Last weekend, Saint-Gilloise lost to Anderlecht on the road in a 1-2 encounter. However, prior losses saw them defeated by Genk and Cercle Brugge in games that ended 0-1 and 2-3, respectively. Ahead of this game, Union Saint-Gilloise are three points adrift of first placed Anderlecht with seven games left to be played.—

Club Brugge have been playing at top level in recent weeks and in this one, they will look to extend their run. In their last four games in all competitions, Club Brugge won each. Last week, Club Brugge qualified for the semifinal of the European Conference League, defeating PAOK 0-2, with a 0-1 win in the first leg at home. However, their league games in that run saw them secure a vital win over Antwerp and Anderlecht. Ahead of this game, Club Brugge have scored in each of their last 11 games in all competitions.

Possible Union Saint-Gilloise Lineup: Moris (GK), Burgess, Machida, Sykes, Castro-Montes, Puertas, Vanhoutte, Teklab, Sadiki, Nilsson & Amoura

Possible Club Brugge Lineup: Jackers (GK), Mechele, De Cuyper, Meijer, Ordoñez, Vanaken, Vetlesen, Onyedika, Skóraś, Thiago & Nusa 

Regardless of the two teams’ form in this match, it is expected to be competitive at all levels. While the two sides' chances of still clinching the league title are high, matches like this will go a long way in determining the possibility of a positive season. At home, Saint-Gilloise are expected to bounce back from their last weekend loss. However, Club Brugge are the most impressive side at the moment in the Belgian League, and I expect them to be able to score in this game.
