Liverpool vs. Union St.-Gilloise Betting Analysis
Liverpool Preview
The Reds are among the popular Europa League picks to win the competition this term, and they have started the season in red-hot form. Liverpool currently sit near the top of the Premier League standings, and they opened their Europa League campaign with a dominant 3-1 win on the road against LASK.
Darwin Nunez pulled the Reds level in that match, before goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah wrapped up an opening night victory. The Reds have an excellent record in the Europa League at Anfield, as they have lost just one of their previous 21. Across all UEFA competitions, Liverpool have their last seven group stage matches at Anfield.
Union St.-Gilloise Preview
It would be fair to say that the visitors will be the outsiders when making Liverpool vs Union St.-Gilloise picks this week. However, they are the most likely side to join the Reds in the knockout stage. They avoided defeat in their five matches on the road in the competition last term, which includes victories away from home in all three group stage matches.
In fact, they are one of just two sides in Europa League history to have played more than one game on the road in the competition without losing. However, they come up against English opposition for the first time since losing both legs against Birmingham City in the 1958-60 Inter-Cities Fairs’ Cup. Furthermore, Union will be looking to become the first-ever Belgian team to avoid defeat at Anfield.
Liverpool vs. Union St.-Gilloise Betting Picks
Liverpool’s dominant record at Anfield across all UEFA competitions appears to be the crucial trend to consider this week. We expect the visitors to finish second in the group standings, but we expect the Reds to have few issues in front of their home fans on Thursday.
Therefore, one of our solid Liverpool vs Union St.-Gilloise picks is for the hosts to cover the spread in the Europa League this week.
