Waasland-Beveren host Union St. Gilloise in the Belgian Pro League. Union have been one of the division's most productive sides this season, while Waasland-Beveren have had a far tougher time of it.
Beveren have actually held their own at home though, winning three of their four league games in their own ground. That's the kind of detail worth digging into before assuming how this one plays out.

Beveren's overall record is 11 wins, one draw and eight losses from 20 games, but their home league form specifically has been better than that suggests. They've beaten Anderlecht 1-0, OH Leuven 3-0 and St Truiden 2-0 at home, with their only home league defeat coming 1-3 to Lommel United.
Beveren's home form has been sturdier than their overall numbers imply.

| Jupiler Pro League | Union St. Gilloise | SK Beveren | 06.04.2019 | 5-1 |
None of that reflects where either side is now, so it's not much use as a guide for this fixture.
A big gap in the table
Union St. Gilloise sit fourth with 20 points from eight games, having scored 22 and conceded just four. Waasland-Beveren are down in 11th with nine points, having scored eight and conceded 14.

| 12 | St. Truiden | 8 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 15/16 | 8 |
That's a heavy swing in goal difference either way, and it points to one side being far more comfortable defensively than the other right now.
The numbers suggest Union should control large parts of this game.

Key names on the scoresheet
R. Florucz leads Union's scoring with four goals in seven games, with R. Mofokeng close behind on three from six. B. Zeneli and M. Biondic have each chipped in four assists, showing the creative spread isn't limited to one player.
For Beveren, C. Lokesa is their main threat with three goals in seven appearances. On discipline, Union's K. Mac Allister has picked up four yellow cards in six games, which is worth keeping an eye on given the pace of this fixture.

Put together, the gap in quality and current form leans clearly towards Union St. Gilloise. They're scoring freely, conceding very little, and arrive with real momentum from their last few matches.
Beveren's home resilience is the one thing that could complicate it, but on the balance of everything seen so far, backing Union to win makes the most sense.
