Anderlecht vs Union Saint-Gilloise Preview
All eyes will be on Lotto Park come Sunday afternoon as first and second place battle it out. Hosts Anderlecht are in desperate need of a victory if they are to close the gap at the top. Luckily for fans, they boast an incredibly impressive home record going into this fixture. They are undefeated in 11 matches on home soil this season, winning nine and drawing two.
However, Union have also been very strong on the road. They have the best away record in the Jupiler Pro League by a distance, claiming 23 points in 10 games. They have won three of their last four away matches ahead of this mammoth clash, with the most recent a 1-1 draw against Club Brugge.
When you take a closer look at the league head-to-head, it doesn’t make for good reading for Anderlecht fans. They have lost seven league games in a row against Saint-Gilloise. This includes a 2-0 defeat in the reverse fixture earlier this campaign, where a first-half strike from Dennis Eckert and late penalty from Cameron Puertas gave Union the points.
In fact, Anderlecht have never beaten Union at Lotto Park, losing all four times the away side have visited. But they have undergone a transformation this season. They have been in fine form, especially at home, and with everything on the line will fancy their chances of coming out on top.

Anderlecht vs Union Saint-Gilloise Betting Tips
Both teams to score – 1.66
Both teams to score at this price is hard to ignore, either as a standalone bet or as part of a combo. Anderlecht have found the net in 20 of their 21 league games this season, while Union have scored in each of their last 15.
Draw and both teams to score – 4.05
We think the league leaders Union are just about the stronger side going into this one, even away from home. They also have the benefit of an eight-point lead over Anderlecht at the top. They don’t necessarily need to win, they just need to avoid defeat. This could lead them to be slightly more cautious in their approach. We can see a 1-1 or 2-2 playing out here.
