Eupen vs Union Saint-Gilloise Prediction: League leaders expected to keep their run intact

The Kehrwegstadion is set to host a Belgian Pro League clash between Eupen and Union Saint-Gilloise. Eupen enters this matchup without a recent victory, experiencing a series of poor results. On the other hand, Union Saint-Gilloise comes into the game on a winning streak, showcasing better form. 

Eupen will be eager to avoid a repetition of their recent outcome, having suffered a 2-0 defeat to Westerlo in the First Division A. In that game, Eupen held 49% possession, took 15 shots on goal, with 7 on target. On the other hand, Westerlo made 20 attempts, with 4 on target, and Nicolas Madsen scored twice (61', 67'). Eupen has struggled to maintain a solid defense in recent matches, conceding goals in all of their last six games, totaling 12 goals against them during this period.

Union Saint-Gilloise enters the upcoming match on the back of a 1-0 victory in the First Division A against Mechelen in their recent fixture. In that game, Union Saint-Gilloise maintained 51% possession, took 24 attempts at goal, and had 8 shots on target. The lone goal was scored by Mohamed El Amine Amoura in the 54th minute. Mechelen, on the other hand, had 15 shots, with 8 on target. Notably, Union Saint-Gilloise's defense has been solid, conceding only 3 goals in their last 6 fixtures, while their forwards managed to score 10 during the same period. Additionally, Union Saint-Gilloise comes into this match unbeaten in their last 6 away league games.

With securing a league win being the primary objective for Union Saint-Gilloise this season, they cannot afford to drop points against a team like Eupen that is currently experiencing poor form. Expecting an attacking and high-intensity game from Union Saint-Gilloise, a victory in both halves with a two-goal margin at the end of the game appears to be a feasible outcome, taking into account their recent winning streak and the overall quality of their squad.
