Union St.Gilloise vs Ajax Prediction and Betting Tips (13.02.2025)

Command Analysis

Union St.Gilloise

Belgium

Current form

Union is an experienced fighter in the international arena, but at the same time, before the start of the Europa League, he was not considered a clear contender for a place in the top eight. In general, Sebastien Pocognoli's team spent the league stage unstable, replacing winning streaks with failures, but eventually finished in 21st place in the table, earning 11 points in eight rounds. In the Belgian championship, Union is gradually joining the championship race, having managed to reach the third place in the table, but the Unionists are 11 points away from the leader of Genk, while the second Brugge is five points ahead.

Sykes is disqualified. Castro-Montes, Boufal, Van De Perre are injured.

Ajax

Netherlands

Current form

Ajax definitely expected to compete for a direct ticket to the 1/8 finals – status, experience and a very solid selection of players obliged the Amsterdammers to set themselves such tasks. However, it was not possible to prove himself at full strength in the Europa League, a series of three defeats in a row at the finish line did not allow him to finish above 12th place in the table. At the same time, in the Dutch championship, Francesco Farioli's team returned the intrigue to the championship race – Ajax beat Fortuna 2-0 in the last round and broke out to the first place in the table, where PSV settled from the very start.

Disqualifications and injuries

Weindahl, Reger, Godts, van Axel-Dongen, and Vegorst are injured.

Tip and bets

2.39total more than three goals

Union will definitely take risks today and strive to win – the hosts are in great shape, they traditionally play openly and effectively at home, and Ajax's defense will obviously have a lot of problems. At the same time, the Amsterdam team has also improved recently, they always play attacking football, regardless of the opponent's status, and they are unlikely to change their style today. It makes sense to count on a scoring extravaganza in such a duel – each side has its own trump cards ahead and will count on the maximum.

We believe that the match will be productive. The forecast is a total of more than three goals. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.39

1.69handicap (0) on "Union"

Betting on the outcome

"Union" is in excellent shape and has improved significantly recently, especially with high-quality "unionists" holding home matches without losing on their own field in 10 matches in a row. Obviously, the hosts will strive to win today, the opponent is of a very serious level, and with any other result, it will be very difficult to count on a passage in Amsterdam. Ajax has also improved in recent matches, but the Amsterdammers are vulnerable away, and they lack stability in the season as a whole, so it makes sense to take a chance and give preference to the hosts.

The bet is an Asian handicap (0) on the Union. This bet is offered for 1.69

Betting on corners

Union will probably play number one at home and spend a lot of time attacking. The hosts should win confidently on the corners.

The bet is a Union victory on the corners. This bet is offered for 1.69
