Charleroi vs Union Saint-Gilloise Prediction: Dominant Saint-Gilloise to win again

Charleroi will play host to Union Saint-Gilloise at the Stade du Pays de Charleroi in what will be the final encounter for round 17 of the Belgian Pro League. Going into this match, Gillose has been victorious in each of their last five matches against each other. Let's do a comprehensive review of the contest. 

Charleroi will be eager to bounce back from their recent setback, a 5-2 defeat in the Belgian Cup against Antwerp. Oday Dabbagh, Daan Heymans, and an own goal by Mehdi Boukamir accounted for Charleroi's goals, while Antwerp's Chidera Ejuke, Vincent Janssen (twice), and George Ilenikhena secured the victory for the opposition.

Charleroi has been involved in high-scoring matches, with a total of 20 goals scored in their last 6 games (averaging 3.33 goals per game). Of these, Charleroi contributed 9 goals, highlighting their attacking prowess but also signaling a need to address defensive issues.

Union Saint-Gilloise enters this upcoming match on a positive note, securing a 0-2 victory against Beveren in the Belgian Cup. The goals for Union Saint-Gilloise were scored through own goals by Sheldon Bateau and Goduine Koyalipou.

In their recent form, Union Saint-Gilloise has displayed attacking prowess, finding the back of the net 8 times in their last 6 matches. On the defensive end, they have conceded 6 goals during the same period. Notably, Union Saint-Gilloise is undefeated in their last 5 league matches away from home, showcasing their resilience in away fixtures.

In light of their previous encounters, their current performance, and the calibre of their players, Union Saint-Gilloise is anticipated to emerge victorious in this match, despite the fact that they will be competing away from home. In addition, while the fact that the away team has a well-balanced defensive line, I do not believe that they will give up to a team like Charleroi.
