- Promise David, with eight in 18 league appearances, is always a threat up front.
-

Betting Insights
- Union St.-Gilloise are 1.3 favourites to win Saturday’s First Division A matchup at home to KV Mechelen, who are 9.75, with a draw coming in at 5.0.
- David Hubert has done a great job since taking charge of Union in October 2025, installing a high-pressing game in which they are flexible enough to switch between a 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-2 depending on the gameplan.
- Frederik Vanderbiest has done a superb job since joining Mechelen in March 2025, bringing stability to a club that is always a bit of a rollercoaster ride and a pragmatic approach to the game.
- So, there should be some opportunity for goals at both ends of the pitch in this game and the odds of 1.9 for both sides to get on the board look appealing enough.
- However, Union’s record of just two conceded at home in nine league matches suggests the under 2.5 goals bet has enough value to take in this spot.
Prediction
Union will come out on top of this one, however, because they have more depth in their squad and are the defending champions.
