Union Saint-Gilloise vs Standard Liege Prediction: Dominant Liege to win here

In the upcoming Round 27 Jupiler Pro League clash at Stade Joseph Marien, Union Saint-Gilloise is set to face Standard Liege. As the match approaches, the home team is considered the favorites, with the visitors being regarded as the underdogs.

Union Saint-Gilloise aims to continue their winning streak following their recent 3-1 victory over Kortrijk in the Jupiler Pro League. In that game, Union Saint-Gilloise secured 55% possession and unleashed 18 shots at goal, with 9 on target. Mathias Rasmussen (8'), Alessio Castro-Montes (17'), and Mohamed El Amine Amoura (52') were the goal-scorers for Union Saint-Gilloise, while Isaak Davies (54') found the net for Kortrijk with 6 shots on goal, 2 of which were on target. Notably, five of Union Saint-Gilloise's last six fixtures witnessed at least three goals per match, with their opponents scoring 9 and Union Saint-Gilloise tallying 12 during this period. As they enter this fixture, Union Saint-Gilloise remains unbeaten in their last 9 home league matches.

Following their recent 2-1 defeat against Westerlo in the Jupiler Pro League, Standard Liège, along with their traveling fans, are eager for a more favorable outcome in their upcoming match. In the previous game, Standard Liège maintained 63% possession, made 12 attempts at goal, with 2 on target. Konstantinos Laifis (45') was the sole scorer for Standard Liège. Conversely, Westerlo had 13 shots at goal, with 5 on target, and goals from Nicolas Madsen (36') and Griffin Yow (62'). The statistics reveal that Standard Liège has been vulnerable in defense, having been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding a total of 7 goals.

This isn't a typical season start where Standard Liege has delivered numerous strong performances, given the low expectations from the visitors in this scenario. Conversely, Union Saint-Gilloise currently stands out as the most formidable team in the league, and with the added advantage of playing on their home turf, I am firmly supporting them to secure a victory in this match. Additionally, considering that the hosts have conceded in each of their last four league matches, I anticipate a similar outcome in this game, especially since Standard Liege has also managed to score in the majority of their recent matches.
