3919
On Sunday evening, Belgian league leaders Union Saint-Gilloise host Gent at the Stade Joseph Marien, in what could be a crucial clash in the fight for the title.
Union Saint-Gilloise are something of surprise leaders at the top of the table, as they are currently ahead of reigning champions Club Brugge by six points.
The home side has been in fantastic form of late, as a 3-2 win over Cercle Brugge last time out means that Felice Mazzu’s team has claimed four straight league wins.
The game saw Union Saint-Gilloise score at least two goals for a fourth straight league outing while keeping their third straight clean sheet too.
Attacking duo Denis Undaz and Dante Vanzeir have played a crucial part in their teams attacking efforts this season, scoring 16 and 11 league goals respectively this season.
The league leaders have been strong on home soil in the Jupiler League, winning seven of their last nine matches on home soil. They have also scored at least two goals in all seven of the recent victories.
While the home team are chasing the title, Gent are looking to finish in the most prestigious possible European competition they can for next season.
The position they are currently in would qualify the visitors for the qualifiers of the Europa Conference League for next season.
Gent’s recent league form has been good, as they have won five of their last seven league matches while suffering just one defeat in the process.
The visitors recent away form has been solid, as they have won three of their last five league matches on their travels while suffering just one defeat in the process.
Forebet predicts that Union Saint-Gilloise will record a win in a high-scoring encounter to strengthen their position at the top of the table.
