Union Saint-Gilloise vs Mechelen team news
Union SG
Union Saint-Gilloise ran out comfortable 3-1 winners at Sporting Charleroi last weekend. An early goal from Mohamed Amoura put the visitors 1-0 up at the break and another two goals were scored in the second half before Charleroi managed to pull a goal back in stoppage time.
The hosts have no fresh injury concerns or suspended players ahead of Sunday's clash with Mechelen.
Predicted Lineup: Moris (GK), Burgess, Machida, Sykes, Castro-Montes, Amani, Puertas, Vanhoutte, Nilsson, Terho & Amoura
Mechelen
Against the odds, Mechelen managed to pick up a point at home to Club Brugge last time out. The game itself won't live long in the memory as it failed to produce a single goal, not that the Mechelen fans will care.
Toon Raemaekers, Nikola Storm, Rafik Belghali and Jannes Van Hof could miss the trip to Union Saint-Gilloise this weekend due to injury.
Predicted Lineup: Coucke (GK), Walsh, Vanlerberghe, Bates, Cobbaut, Foulon, Hairemans, Schoofs, Konaté, Mrabti & Bassette

Player to Watch: Cameron Puertas
Cameron Puertas is the creative force in this Union Saint-Gilloise side and we expect the Spanish midfielder to cause the Mechelen defence plenty of problems on Sunday.
The talented midfielder already has an impressive ten assists to his name in the First Division A this season, as well as chipping in with three goals.
The Spaniard was on hand to score against Liverpool in midweek and provided the first assists in the 3-1 win over Sporting Charleroi last weekend.
