Union Saint-Gilloise play host to Newcastle United in what shapes up as a compelling UEFA Champions League clash, with the Belgian leaders taking on a Magpies side eager to rebound.
Union SG come into the match on a high after a commanding 3-1 away win in their Champions League opener. Domestically, they've carried that momentum over, remaining unbeaten in their first nine league games with seven wins and two draws, sitting atop the Belgian Pro League. Confidence is high for the home side, who will be looking to continue their impressive run against Newcastle.
Newcastle, on the other hand, are still searching for consistency this season. The Magpies have managed just one Premier League win—a 1-0 triumph over Wolves—leaving them 15th in the table. Their European start didn't go to plan either, as Barcelona edged them 2-0 at St James' Park thanks to a double from Marcus Rashford. While they secured a victory in the League Cup, Eddie Howe’s squad will be keen to use this fixture to inject some momentum into a faltering season.
