Anderlecht and Union St. Gilloise are set to clash at Lotto Park on February 23, 2025, at 17:30 UTC, in what promises to be a thrilling Jupiler Pro League encounter. With Anderlecht priced at 2.65 for a win, a draw at 3.5, and Union St. Gilloise slightly favored at 2.5, the odds suggest a tight contest.

Looking at the stats, home teams in the Jupiler Pro League win 39.0% of the time, while away sides take 27.7% of victories, with 33.2% ending in a draw. This gives Anderlecht a slight edge, especially considering their €108.40m squad value compared to Union St. Gilloise’s €72.45m.

Our AI’s best tip? Under 3.5 goals (odds: 1.33, confidence: 4.8/10). Why? Because only 29.3% of league matches exceed 3.5 goals, and both teams have shown defensive discipline. The predicted final score is 2-0 for Anderlecht, with a 1-0 lead at halftime.

Expect Anderlecht to control 53% of possession, while Union St. Gilloise will hold 47%. Both teams are predicted to take 11 shots each, but Anderlecht should have 3 on target, while Union St. Gilloise might test the keeper 4 times. Corners? 10 in total (6 for Anderlecht, 4 for Union St. Gilloise).

Discipline-wise, it should be a fair contest, with both teams expected to pick up 2 yellow cards each. Referee B. Van Driessche will be in charge, and he’s known for keeping things under control.

Looking at their last head-to-head on April 14, 2024, Anderlecht edged out a 2-1 victory. Given their recent form, including a 2-1 away win over Slavia Praha, they’ll be confident. Meanwhile, Union St. Gilloise has pulled off surprises before, like their 3-3 thriller against Union Berlin, but this time, they might struggle to break down Anderlecht’s defense.

Our 1X2 prediction? Anderlecht to win (odds: 2.63, confidence: 3.7/10). It’s a close call, but home advantage and squad depth could make the difference.

Final verdict? A low-scoring Anderlecht win. If you’re betting, under 3.5 goals looks like the safest play. Let’s see if the AI gets it right!
