Union Saint-Gilloise vs Braga Prediction

Royale Union Saint-Gilloise had been winless in their opening four matches but back-to-back victories has given them a real chance of knockout playoff football in the UEFA Europa League.

Union SG now come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat of Oud-Heverlee Leuven in Brussels at the weekend. That means they have now suffered just one defeat, a cup defeat away to Royal Antwerp, in their last 16 matches across all competitions since their turning their form around entirely in late-October.

Braga also edged past Estrela da Amadora by a goal to nil the other day with a 93rd minute winner in that game at Estadio Jose Gomes. They are, almost as ever, sitting fourth in the Primeira Liga but their frustrating inconsistency on the continent has left them sitting outside of the top 24 and the knockout playoffs on goal difference.

Both sides are in reasonable form with the hosts themselves actually in excellent form ahead of this clash in Belgium. Both teams scoring would appear a good bet for a potentially entertaining encounter in which a fair bit is on the line for the two sides.
