Union Berlin vs Union St. Gilloise Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in UEFA Europa League on Thursday, 9 March 2023.
At one point this season, Union Berlin threatened to put an end to the monopoly of Bayern Munich over the Bundesliga. And it is quite impressive that the team is still in the running for a podium finish.
Meanwhile, St. Gilloise are going through a poor stretch of performances at the moment. Most of their recent fixtures ended in losses, and to make matters worse, they are from a much inferior Belgian Jupiler League.
These two teams locked horns in the previous edition of the Europa League, in the group stages. And the latest clash between the two sides ended in a 0-1 win for Union Berlin on the road.
Note that the two encounters in the previous edition of this competition are the only h2h meetings so far.
Union Berlin lost just once in the past four months, and this sole defeat came against German champions Bayern Munich. And at this venue, they have a 100% winning record since mid-September, barring just two draws.
On the other hand, St. Gilloise lost three of their past four games, and they let in ten goals from these three fixtures. They also are totally winless on the road since the end of January.
It appears that the in-form Union Berlin will be registering a win this Thursday.
The hosts of the day scored two or more goals in eight of the past eleven appearances at this ground, while their counterparts let in 11 goals from their last four overall fixtures – and conceded 6 from their past two road trips.
It looks like goals are coming in plenty this game week.
Union Berlin kept clean sheets in three of their past five games, and the two fixtures where they conceded goals were against Bayern Munich, and Ajax. On top of that, counterparts St.Gilloise failed to find the back of the net in their latest match-up too.
As such, it is a doubt if both teams would find the back of the net.
Union Berlin have a 100% winning record at this venue since the second week of September 2022, barring just two draws. They are also a contender to secure a top-three finish in the prestigious German top flight, whereas their counterparts are part of the inferior Belgian First Division A.
On top of that, St.Gilloise lost three of their past four games as well.
Likely, Union Berlin to Win looks like a logical choice at 1.75 odd.
Going on, the hosts of the day scored twice or more in eight of their previous eleven appearances at home, while their Belgian opponents let in 11 goals from their last four games, and conceded six from their past two road trips.
As such, Over 1.5 Team Goals by Union Berlin would be a good complement at 1.83 odd.
