In the round of 16, Union Berlin overcame a highly regarded opponent, Ajax. After drawing 1-1 away, the Bundesliga representative knocked down the opponent with a score of 3-1 at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei.
The recent triumph once again shows that the home field is of great value to Union Berlin. According to statistics, coach Urs Fischer's team is on an unbeaten run of 19 matches at home, with 16 wins and 3 draws.
If only in the European Cup, they have won the last 3 receptions, against Malmo, Braga and Ajax respectively. Union Berlin is no stranger to Saint Gilloise. This season, the two teams are placed in a group Europa Leaguer. After 2 matches, Union Berlin won 1, drew 1.
Saint Gilloise is not in good form at the moment. The Belgian team won 1 but lost 3 in the last 4 matches, being ripped off a total of 10 times. Away, they only won 1/5 of the last matches, the rest drew 2, lost 2. With the current correlation, they should choose the home side.
Asian ratio (0:3/4): Saint Gilloise is unreliable at the moment, as shown by the unbeaten streak in Asia in the last 5 matches, with 1 draw, 4 loss. Meanwhile, Union Berlin won the last 4/6 home matches.
O/U ratio (2 1/4): Due to having to play the second leg away from home, Union Berlin will definitely attack hard to create an advantage. On the opposite side, Saint Gilloise once triumphed on the Stadion An der Alten Försterei, so it will not only take care of defense. Most likely the match will reach 3 goals.
