At Union Saint-Gilloise, the results are always mixed. After the disappointing draw against Cercle, it is Nice that we will have to try to beat this Thursday.
But Sébastien Pocognoli’s men will not be able to prepare for the match against the Aiglons as they thought they would. As the Paarc Duden cannot host European matches, it is at Heysel that the Brussels residents play.

However, the condition of the pitch could be compromised if the Union trained as planned this Wednesday morning in the enclosure. To allow the club to play in optimal conditions on Thursday, a request was made to train in its own facilities.
“On the other hand, the traditional pre-match press conferences of the coach and a player (as yet undefined) will take place at Heysel, after training. On the other side of town then. A marathon day is coming for the people of Saint-Gillois…”, specifies Sudinfo.
A marathon day
Currently occupying twenty-fourth place in the Europa League standings, the Union is the last club qualified for the competition’s play-offs. Facing Nice, which only has two points and is penultimate in the single group, we will therefore have to try to win all three points to consolidate this place in the play-offs during the last European match of the year. Two more will be on the program in January, upon return from the (brief) Belgian winter break.
