St Gilloise is still showing their dominance in the Belgium Jupiler League after promoting from lower league. Many call them wonder of the year in European football. This is the season St Gilloise plays extremely effectively games and entertain the crowd. They created a gap with the chasing group by 8 points in the championship race. In contrast, Oostende is in poor form and have problems with earning the points recently. For Oostende, the stability is a luxury term at the moment. The last time they were able to track the triumph was to beat Standard Liege 1-0 in the middle of previous month. Immediately after that was a series of 3 successive matches with only draws and losses for Oostende. The last two matches were losses that Oostende suffered against Anderlecht and Club Brugge. As a result, the De Kustboys have lost the handicap barrier twice in a row. The last 3 previous matches against Union St.Gilloise, Oostende all suffered the same scenario of loss. Even in the first leg of this season, Union St.Gilloise also crushed today's rival by 7-1 right at the Versluys Arena, on the away ground! The last time Oostende was able to sing triumph against today's hosts was five years ago. So don't be surprised the game tonight ends in hard defeat for Oostende. On the other side of the pitch, Union St.Gilloise is still maintaining strong performances with the best player Deniz Undav, the player who is a man of the season in Jupiler League and is on the radar of English Premier League clubs. Up to now, Union St.Gilloise has not lost 4 matches in a row with the result of 3 wins, 1 draw. Most recent game was a good for morale after the team had to chase the result. Coach Felice Mazzù's army defeated the host Leuven 4-1 easily after being down 0-1 in the match. Half time talk was strong obviously in the dressing room and it took the fruits. Besides, 11/14 matches passed by Union St.Gilloise, all successfully conquered the offered asian handicap. The rival from Oostende will miss Yves Vanderhaeghe due to fitness problems while Theo Ndicka will not play due to injury problems. Everything points to an easy home victory as the hosts seem united and on course to dominate all the way long before playoff starts. In Belgium, the system says that points are halved when playoffs start, so there is a good motivation for St.Gilloise to earn as much as possible points and get advantage to the rivals for a title battle. Only home win today is expected result, most likely by 2-3 goals difference as the home team have their best goalscorer Undav in a great form again: he scored 3 goals in the last match and overall 24 in league, while his teammates said they will give 100% support and help him to win the best goalscorer award at the end of the season. Odds are more then good for home win in handicap.

Prediction: Home win and over 2.5 goals
