We’re of the thinking that De Buffalo's seem likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 system, choosing Davy Roef, Matisse Samoise, Matties Volckaert, Maksim Paskotši, Siebe Van Der Heyden, Tibe De Vlieger, Hyllarion Goore, Omri Gandelman, Abdelkahar Kadri, Michal Skoras and Wilfried Kanga.
It’s looking like KAA Gent will have a tough assignment to put one past a Union Saint-Gilloise side who look set to win well here.
We predict a very comfortable 3-0 win for Union Saint-Gilloise at the end of this one.
