Buoyed by the Super Cup win over Club Brugge, St Gilloise will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Dender in the Jupiler League season opener. St Gilloise were more than unfortunate not to win the domestic trophy last term, but they are still seen as one of the teams to beat in the Belgian top flight. Summer signing Promise David is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in the Super Cup triumph, while Gustaf Nilsson is no longer part of the team.
The hosts, on the other hand, return to the Belgian top flight following a 15-year-absence. Dender are eager to claim a major scalp in the season opener, but given the number of high-profile players in the visiting team, away win should be considered. In their last meeting in a competitive match Royale Union SG defeated Dender 3-1.
