Gent vs Union Saint-Gilloise Prediction: Gilloise to hand Gent another defeat

Ghelamco Arena will host the Jupiler Pro League round 2 Championship Group game between Gent and Union Saint-Gilloise. The two teams are coming off a contrasting result, with Gilloise winning. Can Gent show character at home? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions.

Gent

Gent will hope they find luck in this encounter following consecutive defeats in their last two matches. The previous time out, this team played Genk, and they lost 4-0. In that encounter, this team went behind by just one goal before the first half, but three second goals from their opponent were enough to see them end on the losing end. Ahead of this game, Gent have only one win in their last five matches. In that run, Gent lost to Kortrijk while drawing Club Brugge KV and Genk. With 23 points, Gent sit in the bottom place of the championship group.

Union Saint-Gilloise

Union Saint-Gilloise played Antwerp in their last league game, and they secured a win. In a dominant display from this team, Union Saint-Gilloise had 49 per percent of the possession and attempted 15 shots with 9 on target. In a game that ended 5-1 at full time, goals from Anan Khalaili, Promise David, Franjo Ivanovic, and Michel-Ange Balikwisha were enough to see this team take maximum points. In the meantime, Union Saint-Gilloise have now won four of their last five matches, as their lone defeat came against first-placed Genk. In other encounters, Union Saint-Gilloise picked up wins over Standard Liège, Dender, and Anderlecht.
