With only two points separating Union Saint-Gilloise and Royal Antwerp, their Jupiler Pro League match promises to be intriguing. This match at Stade Joseph Marien will see the hosts on 5th with nine points while the visitors are seventh with seven points. Union are coming off a 1-0 win over Lugano in the Europa League playoffs to ensure their passage into the Group Stages. That made it their ninth win across 11 competitive matches showing their powerful start. Yet, they are coming off a loss in their most recent match in the league when they lost 4-0 to KV Mechelen. That temporarily halted their three-game winning march and now the hosts will be out to reclaim their momentum. Thankfully they have been impressive at home, winning both their league matches at this venue this season.

Antwerp confirmed their progress to the group stages of the Champions League after winning 2-1 against AEK Athens. They are now placed in a group consisting Barcelona, Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk, but the immediate goal would be to improve their league record. They have won two and drawn one of their four league matches this season keeping them at a distance from the league toppers. Interestingly, one of their wins has come with a 6-0 score while the remaining three matches have aggregated two goals. In this context, it is important to note that Antwerp have yet to win on the road in the league, drawing and losing one game each.
