H2H stats
Tuesday’s game will be the first ever meeting between the two sides in all competitions. Union St. Gilloise have a strong track record against sides from the Netherlands, however, boasting two wins and one draw from their previous three meetings. Meanwhile, PSV have won four and drawn one of their previous ten games against Belgian teams.
PSV Eindhoven team overview
PSV Eindhoven have their sights set on a third consecutive Eredivisie league title this season. They kicked off the new campaign in style, beating Sparta Rotterdam 6-1, and followed that up with back-to-back wins over Twente and Groningen.
Peter Bosz’s team suffered a shock 2-0 defeat to Telstar at the end of last month, but responded with a 5-3 win away to high-flying NEC last Saturday.
Armando Obispo picked up a head injury eight minutes into that game and should miss the visit of Union St Gilloise on Tuesday. The hosts’ injury list also includes Joey Veerman (thigh), Mauro Júnior (ankle) and Alassane Pléa (cartilage).

Union St. Gilloise team overview
Union Saint-Gilloise are looking to win the Belgian Pro League for the second consecutive year, and things are heading in the right direction. The visitors remain unbeaten after seven league games and are top of the standings, three points ahead of second-placed STVV.
Sébastien Pocognoli’s team have won two and drawn one of their three away games, but four losses in their last six European away games will be a concern.
Kamiel Van De Perre has not played this season due to a back problem, and he is joined in the treatment room by Kevin Mac Allister (knock) and Sofiane Boufal (hamstring).

Prediction
PSV proved in their win against NEC last time that they can beat any team, whether at home or away. In terms of home games, the Red and Whites not only won five of their last six league games at the Philips Stadium, they also scored four or more goals in each of those games. They also won four of their last five home European matches, so a home win is the most likely outcome. With the visitors not having a good away record in Europe, I predict a 3-1 home win.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- At least five goals were seen in each of the last five home games of PSV in Europe.
- Bets on over 2.5 goals won in four of the last five European games of Union St Gilloise.
- Five of the last six games of PSV Eindhoven at home ended with over 2.5 goals.
Main prediction PSV Eindhoven - Union Saint-Gilloise
