Union St.-Gilloise on top: we expect them to avoid defeat and do most of the shooting.
Our model gives Union St.-Gilloise a 63% chance of winning this Europa League game. A Lech Poznan win is 18% and a draw 19%. Our predicted score is Union St.-Gilloise 2–1 Lech Poznan (9%), though no one exact score is likely on its own. Union St.-Gilloise are expected to score 2.5 goals and Lech Poznan 1.3, 3.7 between them. Both sides are more likely than not to score (65%) and three or more goals is 72%.
On form, Union St.-Gilloise have five wins, one draw and no defeats from their last six games, and Lech Poznan have two wins, two draws and two defeats. Of the players, Terry Yegbe (Lech Poznan) tops both our lists, with 0.3 shots and 0.1 on target expected if they start. Kevin Mac Allister of Union St.-Gilloise is the most booked player in either squad, about once a game in 2026/27.
We expect Union St.-Gilloise to have 20.9 shots (5.4 on target) and Lech Poznan 10.4 (3.8 on target), and corners at 6.8 to 3.4. That points to Union St.-Gilloise doing more of the attacking. Bawler's pick combines Union St.-Gilloise or Draw, Union St.-Gilloise Over 16.5 Shots, Union St.-Gilloise Over 2.5 Shots on Target and Union St.-Gilloise Over 3.5 Corners. We make the chance of all four coming in 52%, a fair price of 10/11 (1.91).
