Royal Union Saint-Gilloise vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction and Betting Tips | April 20th 2023 

Royal Union Saint-Gilloise will host Bayer Leverkusen at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium on Thursday in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League quarterfinal tie.

The home side are flying in the league at the moment and will hope they can carry that momentum onto the continental stage this week.

They played out a 1-1 draw in their first leg clash last week, with Victor Okoh Boniface scoring the opener before their opponents drew level late in the game.

USG knocked Union Berlin out of the last 16 of the competition last month and will hope they can see off another German side this week.

Leverkusen are also enjoying positive results in their domestic assignments but will turn their attention to European football this week. They were the better outfit in the reverse fixture last Thursday but failed to convert their chances before Florian Wirtz scored a crucial leveler from outside the area.
