Match preview
Before this season, Royale Union Saint-Gilloise hadn’t played a single game in Europe since an Inter-Cities Fairs Cup defeat to Juventus in October 1964.
Despite this, the Belgian club have been outstanding in this group, wrapping up first place with a game to spare.
Back on matchday one, Senne Lynen was the only scorer as Union SG beat Union Berlin in the reverse fixture.
Since, Karel Geraerts’ team have taken their tally to 13 points; goals from Teddy Teuma and Jean Thierry Lazare downing Malmö in Sweden last Thursday.
Thus, les Unionistes have secured first place, so will feature in the round of 16 come March.
Visitors Union Berlin are still in the hunt to join their hosts in the knockout phase, but need points.
This saw Urs Fischer’s team leap above the Portuguese club, currently boasting a two-point advantage.
So, a victory here for Union Berlin would secure second spot; a draw will not be enough if Braga beat Malmö simultaneously.
Against a Union SG side with little to play for, will Bundesliga leaders Union Berlin claim a vital victory at Den Dreef?
