On Thursday evening, Union Saint-Gilloise hosts Liverpool in gameweek six of Group E of the Europa League.
The Belgian team have been in decent recent form, as they are unbeaten in their last six games in all competitions, having recorded four victories and two draws.

A 3-1 win at Sporting Charleroi last time out was their third straight victory.
The game also saw the home team score at least two goals for the third straight competitive game.
Despite their recent form being good in general, Union’s form in the Europa League has been mixed. In fact, they have won just one of their five games in Group E.
They will only qualify for the knockout stages if they record a victory and Toulouse loses, and even then, the French team has a superior goal difference, so they may still miss out on finishing third place.
As expected, Jurgen Klopp’s team will head through to the competition's knockout stages as group winners.
The Reds have won four and lost one of their five matches in Group E of the competition.
Their only blip in the Europa League this season was a 3-2 defeat at Toulouse.
The men from Merseyside also head into this game in good form, as they have recorded four straight wins in all competitions, having scored at least two goals in each victory.
Liverpool has been prolific in recent Europa League seasons, scoring at least two goals in five of their last seven games. Their attacking prowess has contributed to six of Liverpool’s last seven matches, producing over 2.5 goals.
Forebet predicts that Liverpool will end Union Saint-Gilloise’s chances of making the knockout stages by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
