🗞️ Team News: Union Saint-Gilloise

Besfort Zeneli (Groin injury), Mateo Biondic (Arm injury) and Promise David (surgery) won’t be able to feature for Union Saint-Gilloise manager David Hubert.

In all likelihood, Les Unionistes will probably employ a 3-4-3 system for the game, utilising Kjell Scherpen, Massiré Sylla, Fedde Leysen, Ross Sykes, Anan Khalaili, Kamiel Van De Perre, Rob Schoofs, Ousseynou Niang, Guilherme Smith, Kevin Rodríguez and Anouar Ait El Hadj.

📰 Team News: KV Mechelen

Thanks to a mainly full-strength squad, there is only a single fitness worry for the KV Mechelen gaffer Frédéric Vanderbiest to be concerned with. Moncef Zekri (Ankle injury) misses out for this game.

There’s a good chance that KV Mechelen appear most likely to make use of a 3-4-1-2 lineup, choosing Nacho Miras, Tommy St. Jago, Redouane Halhal, José Marsà, Bill Antonio, Fredrik Hammar, Mathis Servais, Therence Koudou, Kerim Mrabti, Bouke Boersma and Myron van Brederode.

💭 Prediction

It’s likely that KV Mechelen will be up against it to get a goal against a Union Saint-Gilloise outfit who have the capability to fashion the chances to find the net multiple times while not conceding.

We’re expecting a commanding 3-0 winning margin for Union Saint-Gilloise after 90 minutes.
