Union Saint-Gilloise aims to maintain their chances of staying in the Belgian top flight by hosting the current champions, Anderlecht, on Wednesday night.
The hosting team, known as the most successful Belgian club, hasn’t won a championship title in 120 years. However, this season, under the leadership of Alexander Blessin, they’re leading the charge to alter that statistic. Currently, they are six points ahead, sitting at the top of the table.
Meanwhile, Anderlecht have not yet been able to recreate the form that won them the title in the 2022-23 season. Their current second-place standing is largely due to their weak performance away from home. Brian Riemer’s team has managed to secure victory in only four away games this season and has only garnered a single point from each of their last two games.
Union Saint-Gilloise vs Anderlecht Betting Tips: Home team to win
The success of Saint Gilloise this season is attributed to their strong home record. They are currently boasting the second-best home record in the Belgian Pro League this season under Blessin’s leadership. Heading into Wednesday’s match, they have an impressive streak of nine straight home victories across all competitions.
Given that they secured a 2-1 victory over Liverpool in the Europa League group stage during this period, defeating Anderlect here should not pose a significant challenge.
Furthermore, Anderlect hasn’t been very successful in their recent matches against these two teams. St Gilloise has triumphed in the last seven face-to-face encounters and we anticipate a similar outcome on Wednesday night.
