GENT, Belgium (Interstat) — Union St-Gilloise looks to rebound from a humbling defeat when it visits Gent on Thursday in a Belgian First Division A match at Ghelamco Arena.

The matchup, scheduled for May 21, 2026, carries significant weight in the league standings.

Union St-Gilloise enters the fixture reeling from a 5-0 loss at Club Brugge on Sunday, a result that snapped a three-match winning streak. Prior to that defeat, Union had posted decisive victories, including a 3-1 win over RSC Anderlecht on May 14 and a 3-0 decision against Mechelen on May 10. The team has shown offensive firepower this season but has also been inconsistent.

Gent, meanwhile, has struggled for form. The home side played to a 1-1 draw against Anderlecht on May 10, its most recent result. That match followed a 1-0 loss at Mechelen on May 3 and a 2-0 defeat to Club Brugge on April 26. Gent has scored only once in its last four matches and has been held scoreless three times in its last six outings.

The recent head-to-head series favors neither side decisively. The teams played to a 0-0 draw in Brussels on April 22. Prior to that, they tied 1-1 in Ghent on Dec. 6. Union won the most recent meeting that produced a winner, a 3-2 victory in Ghent on Aug. 9.

The Interstat game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for Union St-Gilloise.

Kickoff is set for 8:45 p.m. local time.
