Union Saint-Gilloise are one victory away from winning the 2024-25 Jupiler Pro League.

Union Saint-Gilloise vs Gent Preview
On paper, this fixture looks like a walk in the park for USG.
The current Pro League leaders, who are one point ahead of Club Brugge, have won eight of the nine previous Championship Round fixtures, a truly formidable record.
Furthermore, USG have conceded only two goals in the play-offs, all while scoring 19 of their own – four of them coming in the form of a 4-0 victory at Royal Antwerp last weekend.
In stark contrast, the 2024-25 Championship Round campaign has been one to forget if you are a fan of Gent.
Gent have lost eight of their nine matches ahead of this fixture, conceding 29 goals in the process.
Last weekend’s 4-1 home defeat to Genk was yet another display bereft of confidence and USG must feel they can take full advantage on Sunday.
The side from Brussels won the reverse play-off fixture 3-0, though the last time they played hosts in the Pro League, Gent managed to hold on for a 0-0 draw.
If history were to repeat itself, we could be in for a drama-filled final matchday, with chasers Club Brugge hosting Antwerp at the same time.

Union Saint-Gilloise vs Gent Betting Tips
Union Saint-Gilloise to score over 2.5 goals @ 1.74
USG are averaging just over two goals per game in the Championship Round and scored three the last time they played Gent. So while the odds here are not fantastic, this looks a pretty safe bet.
Union Saint-Gilloise to keep a clean sheet @ 1.74
The Pro League leaders have kept seven clean sheets in the play-offs and have conceded only 27 goals throughout the entirety of the season. In addition, Gent are also comfortably the lowest scorers in the top six (44 goals).
Under 8.5 corners in the match @ 2.55
Okay, this might look like a strange tip at first glance, but hear us out. In USG’s 4-0 win at Antwerp, there were only three corner kicks taken between the two teams. The two fixtures before that featuring USG saw only six corners taken in each.
