- Union St.-Gilloise are top of the First Division A with 36 points from 15 games, while Anderlecht are third with 28 points.
- Union have won 4 and drawn 1 of the last 5 games between the clubs in all competitions (Anderlecht have failed to win either of their last 2 home games against Union).
Head-to-head and form points to away win
Union St.-Gilloise look more likely to win than RSC Anderlecht when these two European rivals meet in Sunday’s top-of-the-table clash in the First Division A 2025-2026. The hosts are available at a bigger price than the visitors, but we feel our RSC Anderlecht vs Union St.-Gilloise prediction is that the odds for this match up are a bit wrong with the home side listed at 3.09 and Union at 2.34 and the draw at 3.38.
The RSC Anderlecht vs Union St.-Gilloise preview and recent form of both clubs is definitely on the side of Union, who have won four of the past five meetings between the two clubs, including a 2-0 home win over Anderlecht in the league two months ago. Anderlecht have lost their last two home games against Union and will need to be at their best to come out on top this Sunday.
Union have won their last two matches in all competitions, including a 2-0 home win over Cercle Brugge and a 1-0 away win at Galatasaray in the Champions League. Anderlecht are also in great form after three consecutive wins in all competitions, but the RSC Anderlecht vs Union St.-Gilloise prediction takes into account that they were not so convincing in the two at home against Club Brugge and in the away win at RAAL La Louviere.
Control vs counter fixture could go either way
The head-to-head situation and the teams’ recent form favours a win for the away side, but the fact that Anderlecht have only lost once at home this season and are playing with a lot more confidence under Besnik Hasi suggests the outcome will be close.
Hasi, who returned to the Anderlecht helm in March 2025, has restored some of the attacking identity that got lost under his predecessor and the Mauves have the players and the coach to match Union, who are still in transition from Pocognoli’s structured approach to David Hubert’s tactical evolution since he took over in October 2025.
This fixture will feature a typical ‘control vs counter’ match-up between Anderlecht’s possession-based, creative build-up play and Union’s compact, defensive shape, quick passing and wing-back width, which allows them to hit teams on the break quickly and with accuracy.
Thorgan Hazard is the key player for Anderlecht as usual, providing the creativity and end-product that has seen him contribute 4 goals and 3 assists in their last 5 games, but Kevin Rodriguez is the danger man for Union, having netted seven league goals in 2025-26.
Union have Promise David in good scoring form with three in his last five games, while Mihajlo Cvetkovic has also chipped in with two of Anderlecht’s six in the same number of matches. But RSC Anderlecht vs Union St.-Gilloise betting tips suggest Both Teams to Score at the odds of 1.66 as the best play in this game because there is just so much attacking talent on both sides and based on the latest RSC Anderlecht vs Union St.-Gilloise prediction.
