Belgian champions Union Saint-Gilloise begin their Champions League adventure with a tricky trip to PSV Eindhoven.
The Jupiler Pro League outfit have started the 2025-26 campaign in fine fashion and currently sit top of Belgium’s top-flight table.
But the Champions League represents a huge step up in quality, and it will be interesting to see how the side from Brussels fare on Matchday 1.
Read on for a full sports betting online preview focused on tonight’s clash between PSV Eindhoven and Union Saint-Gilloise, complete with tips and odds for your midweek bets on football.
PSV vs Union Saint-Gilloise Preview
In the Pro League, USG have continued from where they left off last season, winning five of their opening seven matches.
Sebastien Pocognoli’s side beat Dender 1-0 away from home on the weekend in another dogged display which showed off their defensive skills.
PSV were part of an Eredivisie thriller last Saturday as they defeated NEC 5-3 away from home, with the talented Ricardo Pepi scoring twice.
Tonight’s hosts have won four of their first five top-flight matches in 2025-26, but did suffer a shock 2-0 home defeat to Telstar on August 30.
That result will give USG some confidence, though the Belgian outfit will be wary of the fact that PSV have already scored 17 goals in the Eredivisie.
However, USG are famed for their skills in the pragmatic department, evidenced by the fact they have kept four clean sheets in a row on Pro League duty.
So it is safe to say that this could be a meeting of attack vs defence, which sets us up perfectly for an enthralling contest in Eindhoven.
Of course, USG have also scored 15 goals in the Pro League this season (Kevin Rodriguez and Raul Florucz netting four each), though it would be a shock to see them play an expansive style of football in what we expect to be a hostile atmosphere.
PSV and USG actually played a club friendly back in June, with the Dutch side winning 1-0 courtesy of a 57th-minute goal from Joel van den Berg.

PSV vs Union Saint-Gilloise Betting Tips
PSV to score under 1.5 goals @ 2.08
As previously mentioned, USG are a seriously strong defensive unit, conceding just three goals in their first seven Pro League matches of the campaign. And even though PSV’s attack is one to be feared, we still like the look of this selection.
Both teams to score – No @ 2.30
On Matchday 1, games can often be nervy affairs, so the BTTS market could be a good avenue to go down. USG may very well rely on their defensive strength to get them through the game, which means goals may be at a premium.
