Union Saint-Gilloise v Liverpool Betting Tips [14 December 2023]

Premier League leaders Liverpool travel to face Belgian Pro League table toppers Union Saint-Gilloise in Thursday’s Europa League action. Having amassed 12 points, Liverpool sit at the summit of Group E while Union are third having won just one game. The Belgian side face an uphill battle to earn a place in the Europa League knockout phases. To secure this, Union need nothing short of victory and hope second-placed Toulouse lose heavily to LASK. Union arrive for this match following a 3-1 win over Sporting Charleroi that strengthened their grip at the summit of the log. The victory extended their six-game unbeaten streak with the run involving three recent straight victories.

Liverpool have already secured their place in the Round of 16 of the Europa League owing to an unassailable lead in the group. Four wins in five group matches worked just according to the predictions for this pool. In their last Group E game, Liverpool thrashed LASK 4-0, recovering from a 3-2 loss to Toulouse. In their most recent game, Liverpool came from behind to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 to go top of the Premier League standings. Having secured group top spot and a busy festive schedule ahead, Liverpool are likely to field a second-string squad here. Jurgen Klopp’s men are however in a good run of form heading to the clash, losing just two of their last 24 games.

Goals on both ends of the field have been part and parcel of Liverpool and Union Saint-Gilloise's matches. Both teams are struggling to keep clean sheets but have been great in attack. Our prediction for Union Saint-Gilloise v Liverpool is for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.
