Union SG has shifted its transfer focus to Swedish international Besfort Zeneli after missing out on Jordi Altena. While the Brussels side closely monitored Altena’s versatile performances at RKC Waalwijk, the Dutchman is now reportedly heading to sister club Hearts in Scotland. Consequently, Union has pivoted toward Zeneli, launching a significant bid for the Elfsborg midfielder to bolster their squad during the winter window.
Union Saint Gilloise to win is the preferred pick because of the significant gap in recent performance and defensive metrics. Cercle Brugge has struggled recently, picking up only 4 points from a possible 15. Their defensive record at home is particularly concerning, as they allow over two goals per game on average. Union Saint Gilloise travels well, conceding less than a goal per game (0.9) on average. This defensive solidity provides a platform for them to win matches even when they aren't at their attacking best. Additionally, Union wins more fouls than they commit, which helps them control the rhythm of the game and limit Cercle’s transition opportunities. Given Cercle’s tendency to allow 2.1 goals per match, Union’s more balanced approach and superior form make them the most likely candidate to walk away with a victory.
