Context and form heading into Lotto Park
The Pro League returns to a mouth-watering clash at Lotto Park where Anderlecht welcome table-toppers Union Saint-Gilloise on 30/11/2025. The fixture carries added bite: Union sit top with 36 points from 15 matches while Anderlecht occupy third with 28 — numbers that tell a clear story about momentum and consistency. Anderlecht arrive buoyed by a run that includes four wins from their last five domestic outings and a narrow 1-0 victory at La Louvière last time out, with Ibrahim Kanaté singled out as the match best performer. Union are in robust form too — recent results include a confident 1-0 win away at Galatasaray in the Champions League and a 2-0 domestic success over Cercle Brugge. Adem Zorgane’s recent performance earned him plaudits and the match-best rating against Galatasaray, underlining Union’s teeth in big moments.
Tactical clues from the numbers
Statistically Union look both more potent and more miserly. They’ve scored 31 times while conceding only eight, and their away numbers show a healthy attacking profile (12 away goals) paired with a stingy defensive record. Anderlecht have been productive too — 22 goals — but they give up more chances than their visitors and their over/under profile suggests fewer high-scoring affairs at home. Clean sheets are a shared strength: Anderlecht have seven, Union eight. The H2H from earlier this season already favours Union — a 2-0 victory back in August — and the recent head-to-head memory and travelling confidence give them an edge.
Referee Nathan Verboomen will take charge in Brussels, and the atmosphere at a packed Lotto Park (capacity 21,500) is sure to be electric. Betting markets reflect the picture: bookmakers price Union as the favorite at 2.25 with a calculated probability of roughly 44.4%, while Anderlecht and the draw are priced longer.
Verdict and betting suggestion
This one feels like an away team capable of getting the job done. Union Saint-Gilloise combine form, a superior goal differential and recent results in Europe that have sharpened their collective edge. Anderlecht will make life difficult at home, but taking all data into account the strongest single-market play is a straight 1X2 back on Union Saint-Gilloise to win at 2.25. It’s a value pick grounded in table position, defensive record and recent head-to-head history.
