Liverpool vs Union Saint-Gilloise Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Kennedy Kechula | in Europa League Predictions
Liverpool will be at home on Thursday against Union Saint-Gilloise for matchday two of the Europa League. The hosts were the only team to win in Group E in round one with a come-from-behind 3-1 win at LASK and sit top of the group with USG third after a 1-1 home draw with Toulouse. Liverpool will hope for a few better refereeing decisions after their weekend problems. A home win over USG will also put them well on the way to the knockout stages of the Europa League. This will be the very first meeting between these two teams.

Liverpool - Union Saint-Gilloise: Form Analysis
Liverpool started their Europa League campaign with a 3-1 win at LASK. It wasn't easy though as they trailed to a 14th minute goal and didn't level the scores until the 56th minute. That win was part of a seven-match winning streak that unfortunately ended last weekend. Jurgen Klopp’s men were controversially defeated 2-1 away to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League leaving them fourth in the table. The loss brought to an end their unbeaten start to the season and they will be keen to provide an immediate response. Liverpool were defeated 5-2 the last time they were at Anfield for a European game. This was in the second round of the Champions League last season against Real Madrid. It is also the last time they lost a match at home. The Reds have won 10 of their last 12 matches as hosts including the last four. Each of those home wins have seen them score three goals. Nine of those 12 games have seen them score at least twice and both teams have scored in four of the last five.
Union Saint-Gilloise bring with them a four-match unbeaten run to Merseyside. This run started with a 1-1 draw with Toulouse at home on matchday one in this Europa League group. They trailed to a penalty scored in added on time in the first half but levelled the scores in the second half. Alexander Blessin’s men would build on this and have won their last three matches. This run has allowed them to return to the top of the Belgian Pro League. Those three wins have seen them score at least twice in each game. Their most recent match was a 3-1 home victory over Sporting Charleroi with all the goals coming in an exciting first half. Three of their last four games have seen both teams get on the scoresheet. USG qualified for the Europa League group stages last season for the first time and made it all the way to the quarter finals. They did not lose any of their away matches during that run and they will hope to further stretch this unbeaten record. Their last three Europa League away games have all been won but this is a tough task for the Belgian side.

Liverpool & Union Saint-Gilloise Squad Analysis
Liverpool saw Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones sent off against Spurs. The two will however be available for selection for this match as their dismissals do not apply here. Cody Gakpo scored his third goal of the season in the loss to Spurs. He was unfortunately unable to continue due to injury and was withdrawn at half-time. The Dutch midfielder is set for some time on the sidelines. Mohammed Salah again has been Liverpool's go-to man on the offensive end and the Egyptian has already been involved in eight goals. Together with Darwin Nunez, who has four goals to his name so far, the two will lead the hosts’ charge here.
USG could continue to be without forward Denis Eckert Ayensa for a fifth successive match due to injury. Guillaume Francois is also another potential absentee after he was withdrawn with injury last time out. Mohammed El Amine Amoura scored the equalizer against Toulouse on matchday one and since then has scored three of USG’s last eight goals. The Algerian should be preferred in attack on Thursday.
