Union Saint-Gilloise will be looking to secure their second Champions League win of the season when they host Newcastle United on Wednesday evening. Although the hosts are the underdogs in this match, don’t be surprised if they get a result, given how they played against PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands on matchday one. Read our Union Saint-Gilloise vs. Newcastle United preview for our predictions and the latest team news.
Wednesday’s game will be the first time the two sides play each other in any competition. Union Saint-Gilloise have never beaten an English side, losing three and drawing one of their previous four such fixtures. Newcastle have a strong track record against Belgian teams, having lost only one of the previous ten meetings (eight wins and one draw).
Union Saint Gilloise team overview
Union Saint-Gilloise are on course to win the Belgian top-flight title for the second consecutive season. Les Unionistes are six points clear at the top of the league standings and are the only team in the division yet to suffer defeat this season.
Sébastien Pocognoli’s men began their 2025-26 Champions League campaign with an away match against PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands where they secured a 3-1 win.
However, PSV fans will be concerned by the fact that their side failed to win six of their last eight home European fixtures. Ruben van Bommel remains unavailable for the hosts due to a knee problem, as do Mauro Júnior (ankle) and Armando Obispo (head).

Newcastle United team overview
Meanwhile, Newcastle United have fallen far short of their usual standards this season, with the team currently sitting just two points above the relegation zone in the Premier League.
The Magpies could argue that they have not been lucky this season, and this is evident when you look at the statistics from their matches against Liverpool and Arsenal in the league.
Luck was also not on their side in their opening Champions League match against Barcelona at St James' Park where they had six shots on target but only scored once.
Tino Livramento was carried off on a stretcher during last weekend's Premier League match against Arsenal and is expected to miss Wednesday's game.

Prediction
Although the bookmakers have given Newcastle United a slight edge in this match, Union Saint-Gilloise cannot be underestimated, especially given their performance against PSV and their current form. The Magpies are out of luck and currently have one of the worst away records in Europe – they have not won any of their last five away games. Taking all this into account, I expect a close game that could end in a 1–1 draw.
Three reasons we don’t expect more than three goals in this game
- Only one of the last 11 games of Newcastle United in Europe produced more than two goals.
- Five of the last six games of Newcastle United ended with under 3.5 goals.
- Bets on under 3.5 goals won in all the last seven home games of Union Saint-Gilloise in Europe.
