Union St Gilloise Set to Test Leaky Cercle Defence

Union St Gilloise sits fourth after eight games and has scored 2.3 goals per home match while conceding just 0.3 at Stade Joseph Marien. Cercle Brugge has no clean sheets in its eight league outings and concedes 1.8 goals per away game. Five of Union eight matches and five of Cercle eight matches have produced three or more goals this season. In the last ten head-to-head meetings the fixture has delivered over two and a half goals on five occasions. Union recent results show three wins and two draws with strong defensive organisation at home. Cercle has managed only 1.1 goals per game overall and has lost three of its last five. The game should see Union push forward against a side that struggles to keep attacks out.
