Jupiler Pro League: Gent vs Union Saint-Gilloise Preview
Gent come into this game on a six-match unbeaten run, with their last defeat coming against Cercle Brugge a month ago. They have won five of their six games in all competitions since, only dropping points in a respectable 1-1 draw against Anderlecht last time out.
They are also undefeated on home soil this season, winning nine of their 12 matches, including a crucial 2-1 win over Club Brugge.
Union are also in fine form having won eight consecutive Jupiler Pro League matches. They also boast the best away record in the division with 15 points from six games, scoring 13 goals and conceding seven.
They have tasted defeat three times on the road this season, two of which came against Liverpool and LASK in the Europa League. The other was a shock 4-0 defeat at the hands of KV Mechelen.
These two sides met three times this season, twice in the league and once in the Belgian Cup. Union were victorious on both occasions at home, winning 2-0 in the league and 4-0 in the Cup. The points were shared in a 1-1 draw when they met at the KAA Gent Arena in the league.
Gent vs Union Saint-Gilloise Football Odds

Both teams to score has been heavily backed at 1.54, with either side to keep a clean sheet seen as less likely and priced at 2.33. Gent’s in-form striker Hugo Cuypers is leading the odds to open the scoring at 5.60, followed by teammate Tarik Tissoudali and Union’s Dennis Eckert.
Jupiler Pro League: Gent vs Union Betting Tips
Draw and both teams to score – 3.90
Gent are incredibly strong at home, hence they are slight favourites. We think Union would be happy with a point given their lead at the summit of the table. We’re going for a repeat of the last time these two met, when both teams found the net in a close-fought draw.
Dennis Eckert to score anytime – 2.67
Dennis Eckert has worked his way back following a spell sidelines through injury, and we’d be surprised if he didn’t start this massive game. The German already has six goals in nine league appearances and only needs one chance to find th net.
