Union Saint-Gilloise plays this Wednesday evening in the Belgian Cup against La Gantoise. Sébastien Pocognoli’s team has recovered well in recent weeks after a complicated start to the season.
The Unionists have not lost since October 27 and a 1-3 defeat against Cercle de Bruges. Since then, they have beaten Eupen 0-3 in the round of 16 of the Belgian Cup and have also had a string of good results in the Europa League, including a draw (1-1) against AS Roma and a 0-1 victory against in Twente.
In the Pro League, the Union remains on a good run with a draw against Mechelen, a 4-0 victory against Genk and a draw (1-1) against Louvain. This weekend, the team achieved a great success by winning against Antwerp when they were reduced to 10 men.
Union Saint-Gilloise, title holders in the Belgian Cup, will therefore have the opportunity to continue their momentum this Wednesday against Gantoise. The Ghent club is currently 6th in the championship and remains on a 6-0 defeat against Anderlecht and a draw against Westerlo. The Union therefore seems favorite and will have to maintain this status in this round of 16.
