Union SG: History and Current Form
Union Saint-Gilloise, founded in 1897, holds registration number 10. Since the 1920s, they’ve played home games at the Joseph Marien Stadium, but for this match, they’ll move to the King Baudouin Stadium. Union’s club colors are yellow and blue. Before World War II, Union was Belgium’s most successful club, winning eleven national titles—only Anderlecht and Club Brugge have more. After a 48-year absence, Union returned to the top division in 2021.
Playoffs and European Goals
In their third season back, Union seemed poised to reclaim the Belgian title but faced setbacks in the playoffs. Dropping points allowed Club Brugge to secure the title. However, Union has made an impression on the European stage, reaching the 2022-2023 Europa League quarterfinals and last year’s Round of 16 in the Conference League.
Latest Match and Key Players to Watch
In their latest match against Mechelen, Union was on track for their first away win of the season. However, Mechelen’s equalizer in the 94th minute led to a 1-1 draw. This Union vs AS Roma preview highlights Union’s recent struggles, with Coach Sébastien Pocognoli looking to steer his team upward after taking over from Alexander Blessin in July.
Goalkeeper Anthony Moris stood out in this match, particularly when fans threw beer at him, briefly pausing the game. Promise David scored his second goal of the season, while Mohammed Fuseini, Union’s top scorer, has netted four goals.
AS Roma: An Italian Powerhouse
As one of two major clubs in the historic city of Rome, AS Roma competes at the highest level in Serie A. Their biggest rival is Lazio. AS Roma has three Italian championships and nine Italian Cups and claimed the Europa Conference League title in 2022. Currently, they stand in 11th place in Serie A, with only one win in their last five matches. This Union vs AS Roma preview outlines Roma’s journey and challenges this season.
Recent Successes and Form Struggles
Despite recent successes, like their 2022 Conference League title, Roma’s form has been inconsistent. Last year, they finished 6th in Serie A, just above Lazio, securing a Europa League spot. The previous season saw them reach the Europa League semifinals, where they lost to Bayer Leverkusen.
Last Match and Key Players
AS Roma’s last match was a 3-2 loss to Hellas Verona, with the Gialloblu leading twice and Roma equalizing each time. Dailon Livramento netted the decisive goal in the 95th minute. Roma’s lineup includes international stars like Paulo Dybala and Leandro Paredes, both World Cup winners with Argentina, and Bryan Cristante, who won the 2020 European Championship with Italy. This season, Roma added Belgian Alexis Saelemaekers, on loan from AC Milan.
