Cercle Brugge vs Union Saint-Gilloise Prediction: Gilloise can not afford to lose this game

The Jupiler Pro League encounter between Cercle Brugge and Union Saint-Gilloise will take place at the Jan Breydel Stadium. How will this one end?

Cercle Brugge will come into this game hoping for another win following a 1-2 victory over Antwerp last weekend. However, this team has an unbeaten run of three games, defeating Genk, while they drew Anderlecht in games that ended 4-1 and 1-1, respectively. This season, Cercle Brugge have 36 points, positioning them 4th in the standings.

Union Saint-Gilloise are off a fifth straight game without a defeat. In that run of games, this team defeated Antwerp three times while they drew Club Brugge and Anderlecht. Union Saint-Gilloise scored ten goals in those matches, while they conceded three. This season, Union Saint-Gilloise have accumulated 43 points, positioning them 3rd in the standings. 

Union Saint-Gilloise should win this game. The visiting team needs this game the more as their chances of winning the league are high. While the home team is also working hard to make it to the European competition, I am backing them to score here.
