Union Saint-Gilloise welcome Lommel SK on September 12, 2026, for the seventh matchday of the Belgian Pro League. The fixture begins at 18:45 local time at Stade Joseph Mariën in Brussels. The home side enter the contest in second place and remain unbeaten in the league this season, while ninth-placed Lommel have made a respectable start following their promotion. Union are aiming to extend an impressive home sequence after defeating Anderlecht and Saint-Trond before recording a 3-2 victory over Sporting Charleroi on September 5. Lommel, meanwhile, had collected two consecutive wins before suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat against Club Brugge. The visitors have already shown that they can compete in the division, but this trip presents a demanding test against a team averaging 2.8 goals per Pro League match.

Union Saint-Gilloise Recent Form and Key Statistics

Union Saint-Gilloise have started their league campaign with four victories, one draw and no defeats. That record is supported by strong figures at both ends of the pitch: they average 2.8 goals scored and only 0.6 conceded per match in the Pro League. Their latest result was a 3-2 away win over Sporting Charleroi, extending their sequence of positive domestic results.

Across their last five matches, David Hubert’s side have registered three wins and two draws. They have scored an average of 2.2 goals during that period while allowing 0.8 per game. Those numbers show that Union can produce consistently in attack without regularly giving opponents many opportunities at the other end. Their attacking average at the beginning of the campaign makes them particularly dangerous against a promoted opponent.

The home record is another major factor in this Union Saint-Gilloise vs Lommel SK preview. The hosts have avoided defeat in their last 18 home matches, including each of their previous 15 home fixtures in the Pro League. Their wider run is equally impressive, with Union unbeaten in 29 of their last 31 matches and in 27 of their previous 29 league games.

Union have also been extremely reliable before the interval. They have not been behind at half-time in any of their last 18 home matches, while the same is true in their previous 14 home league fixtures. More generally, they have avoided a half-time deficit in 23 of their last 24 matches and in 19 of their previous 20 Pro League contests. These sequences underline how difficult it has been to take early control against the home team.

Lommel SK Recent Form and Key Statistics

Lommel SK arrive with two wins, one draw and two defeats from their opening five Pro League matches. They average 1.2 goals scored and 0.6 conceded per game, placing them ninth in the standings ahead of this fixture. Their defensive average matches Union’s league figure, although the visitors have produced considerably fewer goals than their hosts.

The promoted side had built some momentum with two consecutive victories before losing 1-0 to Club Brugge on September 4. Despite the defeat, the narrow scoreline offered further evidence of Lommel’s ability to remain competitive against established opposition. Their last-five-match record stands at two victories, one draw and two losses, with averages of 1.2 goals scored and 0.6 conceded.

Lommel’s strongest trend concerns their first-half resilience. They have not been behind at the interval in 19 of their last 21 matches. Away from home, they have avoided a half-time deficit in 18 of their previous 20 fixtures. That record suggests Union may need patience even though the overall form and scoring numbers favour the hosts.

The historical comparison also presents Lommel with a difficult challenge. Union Saint-Gilloise’s head-to-head summary against Lommel reads four victories, one draw and no defeats, with averages of 2.4 goals scored and 1.2 conceded. The most recent meeting finished 2-0 on April 11, 2021. While that match took place several years before this contest, the supplied head-to-head record remains clearly in Union’s favour.

Union Saint-Gilloise vs Lommel SK Match Analysis

The available statistics establish Union Saint-Gilloise as the stronger side going into this Pro League encounter. They are unbeaten this season, have collected four wins from five league matches and carry a long-standing undefeated home run. With an average of 2.8 goals per league game, their attack provides the clearest difference between the teams.

Lommel SK should not be dismissed, particularly after conceding an average of only 0.6 goals across both their opening league campaign and their last five matches. Their repeated ability to reach half-time without trailing could keep the game balanced during its early stages. However, Lommel’s scoring average of 1.2 is well below Union’s, and the visitors now face a home team that has lost only two of its last 31 matches overall.

The goal markets are comparatively close. The supplied probability for over 2.5 goals is 54%, against 46% for under 2.5, while both-teams-to-score is divided evenly between Yes and No at 50% each. Union’s attacking output creates the possibility of a game with at least three goals, but Lommel’s defensive figures prevent that outcome from being as strongly supported as the home result.

The result probabilities give Union Saint-Gilloise a 63% chance of victory, compared with 22% for the draw and 15% for a Lommel win. The hosts’ unbeaten league start, their extended home sequence and their favourable head-to-head record all point in the same direction. Lommel’s disciplined first-half numbers may make the contest competitive, but Union possess the stronger overall statistical case to secure another Pro League victory.
