Union St.-Gilloise
- Union St.-Gilloise are the runaway leaders in the First Division A, 56 points from 26 games played, and the team in ninth position are KVC Westerlo on 34 points, after the same number of games.
- Union St.-Gilloise are unbeaten in their last five matches (W4, D1).
- Union’s recent away matches have been pretty close, and they have scored an average of 1.15 on the road, with Westerlo conceding 1.08 at home in 2025-2026.
KVC Westerlo
- Westerlo play a more pragmatic game, and since Issame Charai’s appointment as head coach in July 2025, he has instilled a reactive style in which they sit deep, cede possession and hit on the counter-attack.
- Westerlo’s recent results have certainly picked up with a 2-1 home win over Sporting Charleroi following a 2-0 away win at Royal Antwerp keeping them in contention to finish as high as they can manage.
Head-to-Head
- There have been three head-to-heads in this competition in the past 12 months with Union taking two wins to Westerlo’s one, including a 2-0 victory on home soil in this fixture five months ago.
- Union St.-Gilloise have scored 3.0 goals per game on average in their last three away head-to-head meetings.
Key Players
Guilherme Smith has been a major influence on Union’s play of late, grabbing two in his last five appearances for the club, while Promise David leads the scoring charts with nine goals in 24 league appearances.
Betting Insights
- The odds on this game reflect the relative league positions of these teams, but with Union available at 1.7, Westerlo at 4.6 and the draw at 3.8 there is enough value on the board for all three to be considered.
- The price on Over 2.5 goals, available at 1.7, also looks fair considering both sides have been involved in plenty of high-scoring matches of late and the fixture has a history of goals when these two sides have met.
Prediction
But I believe Union should have the quality and team depth to take all three points on Sunday and will take them to do so.
