KVC Westerlo vs Union St. Gilloise
📖 The Preview
Union Saint-Gilloise look the stronger side here and the numbers back it up. They're carrying real momentum into this one, their recent form reading significantly better than Westerlo's, who've been frustratingly inconsistent of late, picking up just the one win in their last ten. The head-to-head record also leans Union's way. Westerlo will likely get something going at home, hence both teams scoring, but Union should have enough to come away with all three points in a 1-2 win.
