Buoyed by another memorable Belgian Super Cup triumph, Royale Union Saint-Gilloise travel to Het Kuipje to face Westerlo in an intriguing Jupiler Pro League opener. The hosts are determined to claim a major scalp, but they head into the new campaign on the back of a disappointing five-game winless preseason run. Summer signings Cisse Sandra and Norman Bassette are both expected to make their league debuts as Westerlo look to improve on a home record that has seen them win only one of their last five competitive matches. They have also conceded 2.20 goals per game in that span, highlighting defensive concerns.
Union Saint-Gilloise, meanwhile, arrive full of confidence after defeating Club Brugge in the Belgian Super Cup. However, the visitors may already have one eye on their crucial Champions League qualifier against Bodo/Glimt after drawing the first leg 3-3. Raul Florucz will be the player to watch after scoring twice against the Norwegian side, while Ross Sykes remains a major doubt with a knock. Despite their poor recent away record, Union possess enough firepower, averaging 2.10 goals per game across their last 10 competitive matches and holding a clear historical advantage with 13 wins from 27 meetings.
As St. Gilloise have superior quality despite their European commitments, we are tempted to bet on Away Win, alongside Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 goals (14 of the previous 27 meetings have produced at least 3 goals, and both teams are capable of contributing in attack).
This Belgian Pro League match will be played on Saturday 8 August 2026 at 19:45.
