Antwerp vs Union Saint Gilloise Top Predictions and Best Picks

With two rounds of matches before the season ends, it seems that this is the match that could decide the champion.

Antwerp to Win

The home team has done well in their first three rounds of the Championship Group, but after losing to Club Brugge a week ago, things are once again interesting. Antwerp vs Union Saint Gilloise prediction is about two top teams of the group who are equal on points and with the home side as the better one looking at their h2h record. They won the first time they met in the final part of the season while earlier in the regular season they had as many as four matches they played against each other. The first two were in the league with each team winning at home and the same thing happened when they met later on in the Belgian Cup semifinal.

Both Teams to Score – No

This is a logical assumption for the Antwerp vs Union Saint Gilloise match based on their previous games this season. Out of five times they met, only a single game had both teams scoring. The first time they met in the Championship Group, Antwerp won with a 2-0 score. Staying with the stats in the final stage of the season, the hosts had two BTTS games as well as a couple in the other direction while Union Saint Gilloise had the same record. With everything that is at stake in this match, the defensive part of the game will be crucial.

Antwerp vs Union Saint Gilloise Lineups, Team Information, Match Preview

Antwerp

After winning the Cup, Antwerp has a terrific chance to earn a double title which would put this team among the very best in the club's history. Antwerp has four titles on the record, but the last one was earned in 1957. There are quite a few injury worries for the hosts: Ritchie De Laet and Koji Miyoshi are not available, while there is a doubt about the status of Pieter Gerkens, Anthony Valencia, Davino Verhulst, Faris Haroun, and Bjorn Engels.

Predicted lineup: Butez, Avila, Pacho Tenorio, Alderweireld, Bataille, Ekkelenkamp, Vermeeren, Stengs, Balikwisha, Janssen, Muja.

Union Saint Gilloise

In the last few years, Union Saint Gilloise has emerged as a title contender in Belgium but failed to win it in the end. This is probably their best chance. Union SG has plenty more titles than their opponent on this day, eleven to be exact, but their wait for another championship has been even longer, the last time they lifted the most important trophy in Belgian football was in 1935. Teddy Teuma is injured while Lucas Pirard might be unavailable.

Predicted lineup: Moris, Kandouss, Burgess, Van Der Heyden, Nieuwkoop, Lazare Amani, Lynen, El Azzouzi, Lapoussin, Adingra, Boniface.

Player to Watch: Vincent Janssen

A player who has 22 caps for the Netherlands national team with seven goals scored, has been a crucial member of Antwerp this season leading the team with 17 league goals. Janssen played almost all of the available minutes and had 34 appearances this season in the Belgian championship.

Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
