Union are 12-time Belgian football champions, though it’s important to note that 11 of those titles came in the first half of the last century, with the most recent one earned last season when they finished three points ahead of Club Brugge. Clearly, they are once again aiming to fight for the league’s top honors.
Their start to the Belgian league campaign has been highly productive. In nine rounds, they’ve recorded seven wins and two draws, which puts them at the top of the Jupiler Pro League table. In addition, Sébastien Pocognoli’s men began the Champions League group stage with an impressive 3–1 away victory over PSV.
Newcastle United: form and statistics
Newcastle did not take part in European competitions last season, which allowed the Magpies to fully focus on their domestic campaign. They performed very respectably in the Premier League, finishing fifth in the table and thereby qualifying for the Champions League group stage, where they lost 1–2 to Barcelona in their opening match.
That said, the start of the current Premier League season has been extremely difficult for Eddie Howe’s men. In the first six rounds, they managed only one victory — a 1–0 win over Wolverhampton — while drawing 0–0 with Aston Villa, Leeds, and Bournemouth, and losing 2–3 to Liverpool and 1–2 to Arsenal. As a result, they sit only 15th in the league table.

Union Saint-Gilloise vs Newcastle United match prediction 1 October 2025
Last season, Union became Belgian champions for the first time in 90 years, and now they have every chance to defend their title, as after nine rounds they are already six points ahead of their closest rival. Moreover, they kicked off the group stage of the Champions League with a 3–1 victory over PSV. Everything seems to be going too well for the Belgians, but ahead lies a clash with Newcastle, who boast a much more skillful and experienced squad. It is the English side who appear to be the favorites in this matchup, so a bet on a Newcastle win seems logical.
This season, Union have been highly productive in attack. In total, they have played 11 matches across all competitions, scoring 23 goals (an average of 2.09 per game), and have failed to find the net only once. Newcastle should also be expected to score in Brussels, which gives us every reason to anticipate both teams scoring and a high-scoring encounter.
