Player to watch: Anthony Moris
Union Saint-Gilloise are up against a Fenerbahce side that scored 13 times in their previous five matches. Interestingly, although the First Division A outfit did not score a single goal in their last four matches, they only lost once in that four-game stretch, thanks to Anthony Moris.
The former Standard Liege shot-stopper has been nothing short of impressive for the visitors, as he has kept four clean sheets in his last five appearances for the club. It will be interesting to see how he performs against Fenerbahce.
