Leuven vs Union Saint-Gilloise Predictions

• Union SG have won three consecutive away matches, and are unbeaten in 12 on their travels, winning 10.
• OH Leuven have gone three games without a win, losing two.
• The visitors have picked up a huge 38 points from 15 away games, the most in the division.

Can league leaders avenge earlier loss?

With the run-in rapidly approaching, Belgium’s surprise league leaders Union Saint-Gilloise are showing no signs of slowing down, winning three consecutive away matches and boasting a seven-point lead at the summit. They did lose the reverse fixture against OH Leuven, however, and will be desperate to atone for that 3-1 reverse on Friday.

Union SG have an incredible away record to defend in their next outing, with their return of 38 points from 15 road trips being by far the best such record in Belgium. Union SG have won 10 of their last 12 on the road, last losing an away game last August and keeping seven clean sheets during that run.

Since downing the league leaders on their own turf in November, Leuven have won five, drawn two and lost six during an inconsistent run. The hosts are now winless in three games after a poor loss to struggling Eupen last time out, and only six teams in the division, amongst them all of the current bottom five, have conceded more than their 47 goals shipped.

Back title-chasing visitors to get revenge

Considering that Union SG have lost just one of their 14 fixtures since slipping up against OH Leuven, backing the title-chasers to claim their revenge at a crucial time looks like a no-brainer.

However, with the hosts only being shutout twice in their last 12 outings, it may not be an entirely smooth ride for Felice Mazzu’s men, so back a 2-1 away win on the correct score market.
