Celta and Union can both press a first pass and use wingbacks to reach the box. A steal matters only if the next delivery beats the recovering defence. St. Truiden and Brann should have more direct wide service, with each team able to attack a clearance or the space behind a high fullback. Their first goals and follow-up contacts are separate parts of the contest.
Union can connect Van de Perre or Zeneli to Patris and Smith, then find Florucz or Mofokeng across the box. Celta's attack still has Durán, Jutglà and Álvarez, but Borja is absent from the current squad after already missing the last match, while González is expected to be limited. Union's wide suppliers and restart delivery had recent match roles at Beveren, giving them a route to answer even if Celta strike first. I’m siding with Royale Union SG to avoid defeat.
Brann's Castro and Soltvedt can supply Holm, with Ingason arriving from the far side; those routes produced goals against Molde and Kauno. St. Truiden have genuine Mbuku and Sebaoui service, but their repeated box entries against Leuven became only one goal, and De Roover has yet to coach a completed match in this role. Vanwesemael missed Leuven after a domestic suspension and is reported eligible again, while Takai's fitness leaves central cover in focus. Brann's current receivers give them a response to home pressure, so I’m siding with Brann to keep the match close.
