Europa League
These teams have never crossed paths; this will be their first-ever encounter. Currently, Liverpool is in good form, especially at home, where they have secured five consecutive wins. Their most recent defeat was on August 2nd in a friendly against Bayern Munich (3-4). Union Saint-Gilloise, on the other hand, has been quite stable on the road in recent weeks, suffering only one defeat in their last five matches, with victories in the other cases.
Liverpool
Liverpool continues to demonstrate a high level of play. In the opening match of the current tournament, they convincingly defeated LASK (3-1), showcasing the strength of their attacking potential. Interestingly, the victory was hard-fought, and the English club demonstrated its commitment to the tournament. The team is certainly taking this competition seriously and is not planning to rest on its laurels. Additional motivation for the players should come from their recent loss to Tottenham (1-2) in the national championship. That match was highly controversial and filled with contentious refereeing decisions. Therefore, the determined players under Jurgen Klopp’s guidance will aim to dominate their opponent on their home turf.
Union
Union Saint-Gilloise is gradually finding its form, going undefeated in four consecutive matches. They secured convincing wins in the last three matches. However, it’s worth noting that their players feel most comfortable in domestic competitions. On the international stage, they face significant challenges. Therefore, it will be extremely difficult for the Belgian representatives today. It’s almost certain that Union Saint-Gilloise will focus primarily on defense when playing away. They will adopt a defensive approach and build strong defensive fortresses. This strategy helped the team achieve the desired results at the start of the season.
Prediction
Liverpool is playing high-quality football, with seven wins in their last eight matches. The setback against Tottenham was a highly disputed match influenced by questionable refereeing decisions. Therefore, it will be very challenging for Union Saint-Gilloise to withstand the pressure from their opponents. The visitors may choose a tactic of total defense. In this encounter, there is likely to be little suspense. Our bet is on the Asian handicap (-1.5) for Liverpool. 1xBet offers this bet with odds of 1.66. In this matchup, one team's dominance is evident. Union Saint-Gilloise understands that they are considerably weaker than their opponent and will likely attempt to completely stifle the game.
