Union Saint-Gilloise host Cercle Brugge in the Pro League, with the home side having just thrashed their opponents 4-0 in the Europa League, while the visitors just won 2-1 in the Belgian Cup but have not beaten anyone in the league across their last 8 matches. The hosts are still unbeaten in the league, with 6 wins and 2 draws, scoring 22 and conceding 4; they are clearly the team that dominates possession and gets more shots on target than their opponents over the last 10 matches. Cercle Brugge's league numbers are the exact opposite: no wins at all, 16 goals conceded from 8 matches, and fewer shots on target than they allow. This game should see Union Saint-Gilloise dominate possession and attack from the start, but the first half may not be decisive because Cercle Brugge start quickly and tend to score in the first half in almost every away match. After that, the home side, with their attacking options, should push on and make the difference in the pattern of play clearer in the second half.
