Union Saint-Gilloise are in excellent form, having won 2 of their first 3 matches, including a 5-0 rout of Heverlee Louvain, although they lost the Belgian Super Cup match (1-2 with Brugge). The team shows a powerful attack, scoring an average of 2+ goals per game, but at the same time they are sometimes vulnerable in defense, having conceded 5 goals in 4 games.
Standard are also approaching the match in good shape, having scored 7 points in their first 3 matches. The team scored in each of these matches, including victories over Hans (2-1) and RAL La Louvirie (2-0). However, their away results are less stable, which could play into the hands of the hosts.
Union Saint-Gilloise looks like the favorite, and the team plays more confidently in the home match.
