Union Saint-Gilloise vs Marseille Prediction: Aubameyang to hit the jackpot at Lotto Park

Olympique Marseille make the trip from the south of France to the north of Belgium this week as they take on Union Saint-Gilloise in the league phase of the 2025/26 Uefa Champions League. Taking place at Anderlecht's Lotto Park as USG's stadium doesn't meet Uefa requirements, Tuesday's game (20:00 GMT, TNT Sports 7) pits two sides both on six points after five rounds of fixtures, against each other.
Below are my Union Saint-Gilloise vs Marseille predictions, supported by all the latest team news and match odds.

Team News
Union could be without Mohammed Fuseini due to an ankle injury, while Kamiel Van de Perre and Kevin Mac Allister must be careful as they are one caution away from serving a suspension.
Marseille, meanwhile, could be without Facundo Medina (ankle), Hamed Junior Traore (thigh) and Amine Gouri (shoulder), although Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg could return from the illness that kept him out of last Friday's 1-0 defeat to Lille OSC in Ligue 1.

Union Saint-Gilloise vs Marseille Odds
USG have lost both of their league-phase home games, against Newcastle United and Inter Milan, by a 4-0 scoreline. The Belgians are underdogs again on Tuesday, with odds of 2/1 implying a 33.3% chance. Marseille, meanwhile, are 11/8 (42.1%), and the draw is priced at 12/5.
Union Saint-Gilloise vs Marseille Stats
- USG have conceded first in three of their five UCL games this season
- OLM have scored first in three of their five
- Aubameyang (OLM) has three goals in five UCL apps this term
Price Boosts - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (OLM) To Score The First Goal @ 5/1 6/1
USG have conceded the first goal in three of their five Champions League games this season, including, of course, both home matches, where they are yet to score.
Marseille, meanwhile, struck the first goal in their first three European outings this term against Real Madrid, Ajax and Sporting CP.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang didn't open the scoring in any of those games, but he did notch once against Ajax, and in Marseille's last Champions League contest, a 2-1 victory over Newcastle United, he was the hero, his brace turning everything around for Roberto De Zerbi's side.
USG have conceded first in their last three matches across all competitions, and so this Price Boost on Aubameyang, who has scored eight goals for Marseille this season, five in Ligue 1 and three in the Champions League, stands out to me.
