Union Saint-Gilloise vs Nice Prediction

To come out of a home match against Italian giants Roma with a 1-1 draw was impressive enough from a Union Saint-Gilloise perspective, but the Belgian side most recently recorded a more important result in the context of knockout qualification beating Twente by one goal to nil in the Netherlands.

It’s been a nightmare European campaign for Nice so far and they are one of five clubs without a league phase win to their name thus far. Only Dynamo Kyiv are below Nice, who have lost three and drawn two as it stands.

Union Saint-Gilloise have a golden chance to really capitalize on Nice’s struggles and against a struggling offensive, the hosts are in prime position to secure a clean sheet. On the contrary, it would be a surprise if Nice were to do the same with confidence among their leaky backline at a serious low. Therefore, expect the home side to come out on top.
