The home fans saw their team lose the first Pro League game of the season here at Stade Joseph Mariën. Last season these fans witnessed 12 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses from Union Saint-Gilloise's 14 home games.

A good away victory last time out for Saint-Gilloise, who won 3-0 against Beerschot-Wilrijk (placed 17th). Attacking player Deniz Undav bested all teammates in that game and got a match rating of 9.05 out of 10. Undav scored two goals, hit two key passes and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that game, the home loss against Club Brugge with the scoreline 0-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Saint-Gilloise have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won four times, drawn three and lost four.

Union Saint-Gilloise has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
