Antwerp vs Union Saint-Gilloise Preview
Union’s three-match winning streak in the Jupiler Pro League came to an end of matchday 29 as they drew 1-1 at home against Gent.
The tie saw their lead reduced to six points at the summit of the table as we head into the final regular season matchday of the campaign.
With second-place Anderlecht facing bottom-of-the-table Kortrijk on matchday 30, a game you would expect them to win, three points is crucial if Union are to maintain their six-point lead.
Antwerp have already secured their spot in the top six for the postseason. The title is out of their reach but they still have the opportunity to put a dent in Saint-Gilloise’s hopes.
The hosts head into this tie off the back of three successive victories in which they have scored seven and conceded zero.
They have also been reliable on home soil this campaign and have won nine of their last 12 home matches. They have drawn twice and lost just once in that impressive run.
Nothing has separated these two sides in their previous two meetings, with a 1-1 draw at the end of last season and 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture this campaign.
Since Union’s return to the first division, they have visited Bosuilstadion five times, winning just once.

Antwerp vs Union Saint-Gilloise Betting Tips
Draw and both teams to score – 3.90
This match is as close as the odds suggest. Antwerp are rarely beaten on home form and Union have just had a slight hiccup in form of late. Both would probably take a point.
Under 2.5 goals – 2.04
Antwerp have kept three consecutive clean sheets while Union’s last three against Belgian opposition have seen under 2.5 goals. These are two strong defences and a goal or two could be enough to steal the points.
