Union Saint-Gilloise vs Slavia Prague Prediction and Betting Tips | August 13th 2024

Union Saint-Gilloise and Slavia Prague square off at the Stade Joseph Marien in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round on Tuesday. Following a 3-1 loss in the first leg, Sébastien Pocognoli’s men will be looking to overturn their two-goal deficit and make a remarkable comeback in front of their home supporters.

Union Saint-Gilllouse’s dreams of securing Champions League football suffered a huge blow as they fell to a 3-1 loss against Slavia Prague in Czech Republic last weekend.

This was followed by a somewhat disappointing 4-3 defeat at the hands of Westerlo when the two sides met in the Belgian Jupiler League on Saturday. Saint-Gilloise have now lost consecutive games for the first time since suffering four defeats on the bounce back in April.

Slavia Prague, on the other hand, continued their fine run of results at the weekend as they picked up a 2-0 victory over Sigma Olomouc in the new Czech 1. Liga campaign.

Jindřich Trpišovsky’s men have now picked up three wins and one draw from their first four league games to collect 10 points and sit third in the table.

Slavia Prague now head into Tuesday’s return leg unbeaten in 17 straight games across all competitions and will be looking to extend this impressive streak.
