Union Saint-Gilloise will invite Marseille to the Lotto Park in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. Both teams have seen identical outcomes in five games in the competition, winning two of the five games and earning six points.
The hosts are winless in their last two games and were held to a 1-1 draw by Gent in the Belgian Pro League last week. Kevin Mac Allister scored his first league goal of the season in that match, as he equalized in the 77th minute. They faced Galatasaray in their previous Champions League outing and recorded a 1-0 away win.
The visitors' unbeaten streak was ended after five games last week as they fell to a 1-0 away loss to Lille in Ligue 1. They met Newcastle United in their previous Champions League match and recorded a 2-1 win thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's brace.
