Betting on Union Berlin
Union Berlin’s performance has been on the rise since it gained the promotion to the Bundesliga, and this season, the team plans to be a protagonist in both, the domestic tournament and in this international competition.
The team has failed to win in its last three matches in the German league, but having eliminated Ajax in the last round of 16 of the Europa League with a 3-1 aggregate score, it can dream of playing a better role in this instance.
Now, the advantage is that the team will be playing on its home field, where they have proven to be unbeatable, having not lost in 11 league matches, with seven wins and four draws. Union Berlin last home match at an international level was against Ajax, in a match it won by a 3-1 score. In the group stage of this tournament, the team lost only one of its home matches, which was precisely against this rival, as they shared Group D.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Frederik Ronnow; Danilho Doekhi, Robin Knoche, Diogo Leite; Josip Juranovic, Janik Haberer, Rani Khedira, Aissa Laïdouni, Christopher Trimmel; Kevin Behrens, Sheraldo Becker.
Betting on Union Saint-Gilloise
Union Saint-Gilloise qualified in first place of Group D, and advanced directly to the round of 16 of the Europa League. The team recorded four wins, one draw and one defeat in the six matches it played. It ended a four-game winless streak in all competitions with a 2-1 victory over Eupen in the Belgian league.
However, the team has not been performing well away from home, having won only one of its last five meetings in all competitions, and it arrives to this match after suffering two defeats in a row.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Anthony Moris; Ross Sykes, Christian Burgess, Siebe Van Der Heyden; Loic Lapoussin, Senne Lynen, Teddy Teuma, Jean Thierry Lazare Amani, Simon Adingra; Yorbe Vertessen, Gustaf Nilsson.
JefeBet Prediction
This is the third meeting between these two teams in this edition of the Europa League, in which each team has recorded a win, both matches only seeing goals scored by the winning side. Given the current successful performance of the German team at home, it is likely that it will win its upcoming game, but it is expected that the score will be less than 2.5 goals.
Prediction: Union Berlin wins by a score of 2-0.
