They have been particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring 17 times while maintaining four clean sheets during this period.

What to expect

Union St. Gilloise arrive with a more stable recent record and a strong home presence, although their squad depth faces a significant test with multiple players ruled out or reported suspended. Real Sociedad have struggled for defensive consistency on their travels and will need to improve to contain a home attack that has been highly effective lately. Given the current form of both sides, the home side appears to hold a more favourable position heading into this contest.
