Waasland-beveren vs Union St. Gilloise Prediction

Union rolling, Beveren stop-start

Union St. Gilloise's recent league form has been excellent. Across their last seven Pro League matches they've won six and drawn one, scoring freely and barely letting anything in at the other end. Their broader run across all competitions, including cup and European fixtures, still shows plenty of wins mixed with the odd loss against tougher continental opposition.

Waasland-beveren: 20 completed matches; Union St. Gilloise: 20 completed matches.

Waasland-Beveren's picture is more mixed. In their last seven league games they've won three and lost four, with home form noticeably better than away form. They've beaten sides like Anderlecht and St. Truiden at home but been exposed on the road against Genk, Zulte Waregem and Antwerp.

Union's away form has been far steadier than Beveren's home form has been reliable.
