LiontipsUnion Berlin vs Union SG. Prediction and Betting Tips for UEFA Europa League
Command Analysis
Union are enjoying a fantastic season. For some time hosts were tied on points with Bayern in Bundesliga. Berlin team dropped a few points recently and lost a head-to-head encounter to Munich (0:3). But team is still in Top-4 - Urs Fischer's men are 3rd in the Bundesliga standings, five points away from the top position.
Union's latest defeats were not so surprising, given team's tough schedule. The Iron ones played against heavily-favoured Ajax in the Europa League Round of 32. First leg ended in a goalless draw, but Urs Fischer's men managed to beat the opponent at home in a reverse fixture (3:1).
Union Saint-Gilloise achieved a fantastic result in the previous season, finishing 2nd in the Belgian Pro League. Now club is close to repeating that result - Karel Geraerts' men are 2nd in the league standings, eight points away from the leader.
Team lacked success in recent matches - two defeats and one draw in four games. And unlike Union, Saint-Gilloise didn't play in the Europa League preliminary round. Club finished 1st in the group stage and went straight into the round of 16.

Tip and bets
We are not expecting a high-scoring game here. Opponents already played against each other in the group stage and exchanged 1:0 victories. As a result, Geraerts' men won the group. Opponents won't take too much risk in the first leg, so we are expecting a defensive performance from both teams.
Our prediction - total under 2.5 goals
We believe that the German side will win this game. Both clubs are quite successful in their domestic leagues, but opponents are obviously stronger in Bundesliga. Union dropped some points recently, but their only defeat came from the game against Bayern. It should be much easier for Fischer's men to play against Saint-Gilloise. The Iron ones are unbeaten at home since September and we don't think that this streak will end today.
Our second bet is on Union to win the match
