Beerschot VA vs Union Saint-Gilloise Match Preview

The first point for Beerschot in this season's league was the one in the away match against Gent. Although at the beginning of the second half they were back in the score with 2-0, they found the mental strength and with two goals in the last 20 minutes they managed to equalize. Tonight they face a direct rival in their fight to stay in the league, in a game that can not aim for anything less than their first three-pointer this season. 

Defender P. Bourdin and midfielder R. Sanusi remain out of action since the start of the season, as well as Placca Fessou who is in their transfer list. 

Union Saint-Gilloise started with the enthusiasm of the newcomers. They prevailed over Anderlecht in their opening match with 3-1 away from home, followed by a difficult home defeat with 1-0 to the champions Club Brugge, conceding the goal a few minutes before the final whistle. Tonight Union will face a much more different opponent and they will definitely have to differentiate their game as they are not expected to receive enough pressure looking for counter-attacks and they will have to be clearly more creative if they want to get something from the game.

The absence of striker A. Siguroarson is very important, he has not overcome his injury. A few days ago, the forward B. Labeau left, who had given several solutions last season, as well as the defender A. Hamzaoui, who, however, had a small participation.

The most recent h2h games are in favor of the hosts when these two teams play in Antwerp. Beerschot has registered 5 wins and a draw in the 6 most recent home games games, all for the second league. Union may have made a better start in the first two rounds, but this game is completely different for both teams as they are among those who will fight to stay in the league.

The odds are quite tempting here, the 4.65 that Betshop offers to the hosts in a game between two sides with a common goal can not be ignored. Home win for Beerschot.
