Betting on Union St Gilloise
Union Saint-Gilloise is going through one of the best years in their history. In their local league, they’ve recorded 22 wins, six draws, and five losses, earning 72 points that place them second in the standings, only two points behind leaders KRC Gent.
In the Europa League, the team has shown impressive form and level of play. What’s more, they didn’t back down in their visit to Germany, securing a valuable draw that leaves them with a chance to advance to the next stage as they’ll play the second leg at home.
Throughout the season they have proven to be comfortable playing at home, where they have recorded 13 wins, two draws and only two defeats in their domestic league. In Europe, the picture has been no different, with only one defeat in the entire tournament.
The team is at a very high level and has gone nine games without defeat in all competitions, so it is in a very good moment to seek a historic qualification.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Anthony Moris; Siebe Van Der Heyden, Christian Burgess, Ismael Kandouss; Loic Lapoussin, Teddy Teuma, Senne Lynen, Jean Lazare Amani, Bart Nieuwkoop; Victor Boniface, Simon Adingra.
Betting on Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen has had a challenging season in Germany. After a rocky start, the team improved their performance with the arrival of Xabi Alonso as coach, climbing to sixth place with 44 points.
Under the guidance of the Spanish coach, the German team is in a great moment, having gone seven games unbeaten in the German League. However, they come into this decisive Europa League match on the back of a goalless draw against Wolfsburg.
The Germans entered the Europa League after being eliminated from the Champions League, and then went on to eliminate Ferencváros with ease, winning 4-0 overall. Despite this, they failed to take advantage of their home ground in the first leg of the quarter-finals, only managing a draw against Union Saint-Gilloise.
Now, they’ll have to play as visitors, a scenario that hasn’t been favorable for them this season. In the Bundesliga, they’ve played 14 away games, winning six, drawing three, and losing five.
Possible Lineup (3-4-1-2): Lukas Hradecky; Odilon Kossounou, Jonathan Tah, Edmond Tapsoba; Jeremie Frimpong, Robert Andrich, Exequiel Palacios, Piero Hincapié; Florian Wirtz; Amine Adli, Moussa Diaby.
JefeBet Prediction
This is undoubtedly a game where anything can happen. Both teams are at a high level in their respective leagues and this was demonstrated in the first leg.
For the second leg, the outlook is similar, and a back-and-forth duel is expected between the two teams, so a mistake will define the winner. This is why at JefeBet we expect a draw between both teams.
Prediction: Draw (UNI 1-1 BAY).
