For Union Saint-Gilloise vs Genk prediction, we say Union SG will win 2-1, thanks to their previous encounters with Genk. Currently, both teams have similar form, having won one and lost one in their opening two Championship Round games. However, home advantage would play its part, hence backing Union SG to win.
Genk won 2-1 the last time they visited Union Saint-Gilloise but they lost the first leg 2-1 as well at home.
