Predictions & Betting Tips

Union are on a roll

Union have shown the consistency of a title-winning team, picking up 53 points from 39 games in the First Division A – Championship Group 2025 campaign to top the league. This Union St.-Gilloise vs KAA Gent preview highlights how Sebastien Pocognoli’s tactical acumen has created a high-octane and high-tempo attacking force that have played with the attacking mindedness of a 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 formation, which has seen them press high and create overloads from wide positions with their wing-backs. Their most recent wins have been a 1-0 victory away at Anderlecht and a 4-0 thrashing at Antwerp, so they’ve stepped up to the big occasions and shown the sort of killer instinct needed to win the title. If they can win on Sunday, it will secure the club’s first Belgian top-flight championship since 1935. Our Union St.-Gilloise vs KAA Gent prediction is further strengthened by Mohammed Fuseini, who has provided the goal power they have lacked at times this season with three goals in Union’s unbeaten run of five matches, while Promise David is their top scorer in this Championship Group with six goals in nine games. He has a knack for scoring the important goals and should be backed in the anytime scorer market.

Gent are in a rut

KAA Gent have had a disastrous season, and they come into the final game in 6th place with just 26 points from 39 league matches. The last five games have been a confidence draining run of results which has left the team bottom of the table, with 15 goals conceded and just two scored. Dante Vanzeir has been in poor form, with just one goal in eight games in the Championship Group. Danijel Milicevic has rotated between formations since taking over on January 20th, 2025, but hasn’t been able to stop Gent’s slide or reverse their poor results. Gent are a possession-based side who prefer to build up from the back and control games from midfield. They can be flexible with formations, but have lacked the bite to win the game recently, as seen in the Union St.-Gilloise vs KAA Gent prediction offered by many pundits, with a 1-4 home defeat to Genk and a 0-3 loss at Antwerp showing just how badly things are going. Union’s high intensity and verticality will punish a more reserved and structured buildup, especially when the visitors are low on confidence. Gent have failed to pick up a point in their previous three away games to Union in all competitions and have conceded 30 goals from 19 away league games this season. With Union averaging 1.95 goals per game at home, the Union St.-Gilloise vs KAA Gent betting tips suggest taking them to score more than 2.5 goals.
