Gent vs Union St Gilloise Lineups and Team News
Gent
Gent won the last four outings in the First Division A, a performance that followed a 2-0 away defeat in Bruges against Club Brugge. Since then, Gent has been on a scoring spree. They have found the back of the net at least twice in three of their last four games, so expect a good showing from the hosts who have equally been formidable offensively. They have three clean sheets from their last four games.
Gent predicted lineup – Nardi, Torunarigha, Okumu, Casto-Montes, Samoise, Start, Odidja-Ofoe, Kums, Fofana, Cuypers and Orban.
St Gilloise
St Gilloise recovered from a 2-match losing run, games they lost in similar fashions of a 2-4 home defeat against Liege and a 4-2 away loss to Westerlo, to win four games on the bounce. But unlike Gent which kept three clean sheets in their winning streak of four games, St Gilloise failed to do so. The visitors won all their last four games with a similar scoreline of 2-1-thrice at home and once on the road. The only away win in that run was against table-toppers, Genk.
St Gillouse predicted lineup -Moris, Sykes, Kandouss, Heyden, Nieuwkoop, Lazare Amani, Lyne, Teuma, Lapoussin, Adingra and Okoh Boniface.
Player to Watch: Hugo Cuypers (Gent Forward)
Hugo Cypers is the player to watch in this game. He is the combined league top scorer with 18 goals in 30 appearances so far in the Belgian Pro League. The 26-year-old right-footed forward has also provided 4 assists, performances that make him a scoring prospect in this clash with St Gilloise. He scored a brace in the last game against Seraing which Gent won 5-0 away from home. He has now scored in two consecutive games, a total of three goals, with the other being against Eupen.
