Our predictions for Galatasaray vs Union St. Gilloise
Match Prediction: Galatasaray 2-1 Union St. Gilloise
Galatasaray come into this match with a strong run of form, having secured three consecutive wins after a heavy defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt. Their recent victories, including a convincing 3-0 win against Ajax away from home, suggest they can dominate possession and create scoring opportunities. Union St. Gilloise, on the other hand, have struggled recently, losing three of their last four matches, with their only win coming against PSV Eindhoven. This contrast in form indicates that Galatasaray might have the upper hand, especially if they can exploit Union's defensive vulnerabilities shown in their recent losses.
The game could see Galatasaray controlling the midfield with players like Lemina and Sane, who have been pivotal in their recent successes. Union St. Gilloise will need to be more resilient at the back and capitalise on any counter-attacking opportunities, as they did against PSV. However, given Galatasaray's recent scoring prowess and Union's defensive struggles, the Turkish side might just edge this encounter with a solid performance.
