🗞️ Team News: Union Saint-Gilloise

There’s just a single fitness concern for the Union Saint-Gilloise gaffer David Hubert to be concerned with due to a largely intact squad. Rob Schoofs (Ill) is out of contention. The players who will not be able to play in this game through being suspended are Ousseynou Niang and Christian Burgess.

It’s our opinion that Les Unionistes will probably go for a 3-4-2-1 system this time, beginning the first half with Kjell Scherpen, Ross Sykes, M. Thierno Barry, Fedde Leysen, Anan Khalaili, Kamiel Van De Perre, Mathias Rasmussen, Guilherme Smith, Marc Giger, Anouar Ait El Hadj and Promise David.

🗞️ Team News: KV Mechelen

KV Mechelen boss Frédéric Vanderbiest has not got a full squad to pick from. Benito Raman (Tendon rupture), Kerim Mrabti (Hamstring injury), Ortwin De Wolf (Knee surgery), José Marsà (Adductor injury), Dikeni Salifou (Knock) and Amine Ouahabi (Torn knee ligaments) won’t be making appearances. The players who will not be able to play in this game through being suspended are Bill Antonio and Gora Diouf.

We’re of the thinking that KV Mechelen seem likely to play in a 3-4-1-2 system by sending out Nacho Miras, Tommy St. Jago, Mory Konaté, Redouane Halhal, Therence Koudou, Mathis Servais, Fredrik Hammar, Moncef Zekri, Halil Özdemir, Lion Lauberbach and Myron van Brederode.

⚡ Prediction

Our assessment is that Union Saint-Gilloise will probably get a couple of goals in this one against KV Mechelen, who could well struggle finding the net themselves.

Our selection here is for a fairly comfortable 2-0 win for Union Saint-Gilloise when all’s said and done.
