BRUSSELS (Interstat) — Union St-Gilloise visits Club Brugge on Sunday in a Belgian First Division A clash that carries added weight given their recent history. The teams have met three times this season, with Union winning two of those encounters, including a 2-1 victory at home on Apr. 19 and a 1-0 win at Brugge on Feb. 1. Club Brugge’s lone win came Oct. 5, a 1-0 result at home.

Union enters the match on a hot streak. The visitors beat RSC Anderlecht 3-1 on Thursday, their third win in the past five league games. They also defeated Mechelen 3-0 on May 10 and posted a 3-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on May 3. Their only recent blemish was a 2-1 loss at Sint-Truiden on May 2. Overall, Union has won eight of its past 10 league outings, with one draw and one defeat.

Club Brugge, meanwhile, has been equally impressive. The hosts shut out Sint-Truiden 2-0 on Saturday, their third straight victory. They beat Anderlecht 3-1 on May 3 and Gent 2-0 on Apr. 26. A 6-1 demolition of Mechelen on Apr. 22 highlighted their scoring punch. Club Brugge’s only loss in its past six league games came against Union on Apr. 19.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for Union St-Gilloise. The prediction aligns with the visitors’ recent dominance in the series, though Club Brugge has been nearly as strong at home, where they won their last two fixtures by a combined 5-0.

Kickoff is Sunday at the Jan Breydel Stadium. Both sides are jockeying for position in the tightly contested league table, making this a pivotal matchup in the season’s final stretch.
