The last in the stand will receive the third in the stand on Sunday afternoon. But anyone who thinks that Union, that third in the stand, will easily come and hijack the three points at ‘t Kiel, will be disappointed.
Beerschot undefeated series at home
Because both Union and Beerschot have built up a solid reputation prior to their mutual duel. Because Beerschot may be in last place, they are currently 7 home games unbeaten in the competition.
With 13 points they are still in last place, but they did 12 of those 13 points in their own Olympic Stadium. Anderlecht, Club Brugge, Antwerp … they all bite their teeth on Beerschot when the Paarshemden were allowed to play at home.
Union undefeated at home and out
Union on the other hand is on an even more impressive series of 10 unbeaten matches in the Jupiler Pro League, regardless of at home or out. The series of Beerschot has been busy for some time, which of Union is just a little more impressive.
It has ensured that the people of Brussels have risen to third place in the rankings. Due to the draw of Club Brugge at home against Kortrijk, Union can even crawl closer to Club Brugge in the stand. After a slow start, Pocognoli seems to have gotten his troops on track this season.

New turf
Although the Union trainer is wary for the visit to the red lantern. “It’s a treacherous match. They have made it very difficult for a few top teams, so we are on our guard,” says Pocognoli.
Beerschot will certainly receive Union on a brand new turf. Since the troops of Dirk Kuyt also trained in the stadium, the grass mat greatly abandoned. After a few months of complaint, it has been ensured in the past two weeks that a new turf was placed.
