Union Saint-​Gilloise: form and statistics

Union won the Belgian championship last season for the first time in nine decades, which earned the Brussels club a place in the Champions League. They do not intend to slow down: in the current domestic season they have already collected 37 points from 17 rounds, leading the league and staying four points ahead of their closest chaser.

In the Champions League main stage, the yellow-and-blues are also performing solidly. In five matchdays they have earned two victories - over PSV (3–1) and Galatasaray (1-0). They also suffered defeats to Newcastle (0-4), Inter (0-4), and Athletic (1-3). In the combined standings, Union are in 25th place.

Marseille: form and statistics

Marseille, after a series of unsuccessful seasons, have once again become a formidable force. In last year’s Ligue 1 campaign, the Provençals finished as runners-up, which secured them direct qualification for the main phase of the Champions League. In the current league season, they have collected 29 points from 15 matchdays, placing them third in the table.

In the Champions League, however, the sky-blues are performing inconsistently. In five matchdays of the main phase, they have beaten only Ajax and Newcastle - 4-0 and 2-1— while losing to Real Madrid (1-2), Sporting (1-2), and Atalanta (0-1). For now, this is enough for Marseille to hold 21st place in the overall standings.

Union Saint-​Gilloise vs Marseille match prediction 9 December 2025

Union and Marseille have shown similar results in the first five matchdays of the Champions League group stage: two wins, three losses, and six points each. However, the level of skill and experience favors the French side, who are seen as the favourites in this matchup. While the Belgians are always dangerous at home, they lost both of their previous home games in the Champions League convincingly. A bet on a Marseille win looks logical.

Recently, Marseille have been playing very entertaining and high-scoring football. In their last five matches across all competitions, the Provençals scored 12 goals (an average of 2.4 per game), with a total of 17 goals in those games (3.4 per game). It is unlikely that Union will adopt a purely defensive approach in their home clash.
