Club Brugge vs Union Saint-Gilloise Prediction

Blauw-Zwart have won eight of their last 10 games across all competitions and head into the match in good form. They are unbeaten at home across all competitions, recording four wins on the spin. They have 11 wins in 16 home meetings against the visitors and are strong favorites.

Ronny Deila remains without the services of Casper Nielsen, Joel Ordonez, and Kyriani Sabbe through injuries. Bjorn Meijer picked up an injury in the first half of their win over RWDM and faces a late fitness test. Tajon Buchanan has been linked with a move to Inter Milan and has been left out of the squad.

Les Unionistes have enjoyed a 13-game unbeaten run in the Pro League, recording 12 wins. They have registered back-to-back wins in their last three away games and will look to build on that form here.

Alexander Blessin has called up a strong 20-man squad for the match and all eyes will be on Mohamed Amoura, who has 13 goals to his name this season and has scored in his last five appearances for the club.

Fatigue will be a factor for both teams as they play after just three days in this Boxing Day clash. With that in mind and considering their current form, a high-scoring draw might ensue.
