Form Guide — Last 5
St. Truiden
Truiden's recent form shows two consecutive draws – a 1‑1 home stalemate against Lommel United and a 3‑3 away draw with Cercle Brugge. The inability to secure a win in either match highlights a porous defense that is likely to concede multiple goals against Union's potent attack, supporting the over‑2.5 goal pick.
Union St. Gilloise
Union's last five league games include a 5‑1 away win over KVC Westerlo and a 0‑0 home draw with Zulte Waregem. The five‑goal haul demonstrates their capacity to flood the box, while the clean sheet against Zulte Waregem shows they can also keep a solid defensive shape, reinforcing the expectation of a high‑scoring encounter.
Head-to-Head
In the five most recent meetings, Union have won four times (including a 3‑1 win on 22 Mar 2026 and a 2‑0 victory on 26 Oct 2025) and lost once, confirming a clear advantage that aligns with the over‑2.5 goal outlook.
