Liverpool vs Union St.Gilloise 05.10.2023 Prediction: UEFA Europa League

Match Overview

Liverpool take on Union St.Gilloise in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. The home team will feel extremely confident of putting one over their opponents given the run of form that they are on. Despite having lost to Tottenham Hotspur in their previous game in the Premier League, Liverpool's defensive capabilities have been strong.

Key Highlights 

Union St.Gilloise have been unbeaten in four out of the last five matches that they have played. This has allowed them to push whenever forced down and allowed their attackers to breathe free thanks to the creativity of their midfielders. Liverpool, on the other hand, are unbeaten in the last thirteen matches that they have played at home and keen on making it fourteen. 

Injury Report

Thiago is the only player from Liverpool who has been ruled out of this game against Union St.Gilloise. For the visiting side, Dennis Eckert will not be available for selection owing to the unfortunate injury he suffered earlier in the season.

Prediction

Despite Liverpool being the favourites to win this game, it has to be noted that they have not kept a clean sheet in the last five matches that they have played. This will severely hamper Liverpool's ability to play hassle-free football in this competition. The visiting side will be keen on exploiting Liverpool's defensive weaknesses.
