Union Saint-Gilloise vs Genk Prediction: Entertaining tough contest ahead

Stade Joseph Marien will host this Jupiler Pro League game between Union Saint-Gilloise and Genk. Let’s preview this game and make a prediction.

Union Saint-Gilloise are coming off a 1-2 win over Cercle Brugge. In that game, goals from Gustaf Nilsson and Alessio Castro-Montes gave this side maximum points. In the meantime, Union Saint-Gilloise have played six consecutive games with no defeat in recent times. In that run of games, Union Saint-Gilloise won four while they drew two.

Genk ended a run of games with no wins last weekend against Antwerp. In a game they won 1-0, Andi Zeqiri's lone strike in the 28th minute was the difference. In the meantime, Genk lost to Anderlecht, Cercle Brugge, and Club Brugge in the previous games. This season, Genk have 37 points in the championship group, positioning them 4th in the standings. 

The hosts are too good to lose, and while they boast of home turf advantage, I believe they will win this game. Also, with each of their last meetings not ending with many goals, this one is expected to be similar.
