Union Saint-Gilloise vs Gent Prediction

Royal Union are one of the most in-form teams in the league this season. Having narrowly missed out on a shock league win last term, the Brussels outfit have impressed once again.

Gent, meanwhile, have unsurprisingly been inconsistent but are still capable of going toe-to-toe with the big guns as they are of falling to a shock defeat. The visitors claimed a comfortable 3-0 victory over the weekend that could boost their confidence.

However, Royal Union have been on a solid run and will want to keep pace with the top guns with a win. The hosts should claim maximum points in a high-scoring game.
