Union St.Gilloise vs Eupen Betting Tips: USG and over 2.5 goals

USG had been in exceptional form leading up to the international break, propelling them to the top of the First Division A.

USG has triumphed in their previous four league matches, accumulating a total of 22 points from their first ten games of the season. As a result, they are now leading the league with a one-point advantage over Anderlecht.

Les Unionistes have been on a winning streak, scoring an impressive 12 goals in their last four games. Their latest victory came at home with a 3:1 win against Sporting Charleroi in October, making it three wins out of five games played on their home turf.

When it comes to USG being involved, especially in home matches, goals can typically be expected. The team has witnessed over 2.5 goals being scored in 11 out of their last 14 league games at Stade Joseph Mariën. However, USG has only been able to keep a clean sheet in three of those 14 games.

Unlike USG, Eupen enters this game on a losing streak, having been defeated in their last five league matches since September. In those five losses, the visiting team conceded a total of 13 goals, although they managed to score in all but one of those games.

The team playing at home has been dominating the recent matches against their opponents, winning three out of the last four league games. Moreover, in four out of the last six matches between these teams, both teams scored and more than 2.5 goals were scored.

Ultimately, a home win looks like a solid selection on Friday, while we should also expect to see over 2.5 goals scored in a game where Eupen could also get on the scoresheet.
