Union St. Gilloise vs Union Berlin
UEFA Europa League
Date: 16 March 2023, Thursday
Kick-off at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
Venue: Lotto Park (Bruxelles).
Union Berlin and Union St. Gilloise have offered a genuine spectacle in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League R16 tie seven days ago in German capital.
The tie remained wide open with each team bagging three goals on the occasion. The momentum swung back and forth on several instances.
The general consensus was that Union Berlin created many more chances but their Belgian counterparts showed incredible efficiency to earn a big draw last week on German soil.
Union St. Gilloise backed up such a result with another massive success on Sunday afternoon when they dispatched First Division A leaders Genk 1-2 on the road after another comeback.
The team led by Karel Geraerts are now only five points shy of Genk atop the domestic league table and the First Division A title may well be within reach for this brave team.
Union Berlin, on the other side, dropped to fourth place in the German Bundesliga standings after a 1-1 draw at Wolfsburg on Sunday.
It was the fourth consecutive winless affair for Urs Fischer and his troops who have shown the lack of defensive meticulousness in the latest fixtures.
Knowing how impressive Union St. Gilloise have been in converting chances of late, we would by no means be surprised to see the hosts on target once again on Thursday.
