Gent vs Antwerp Predictions

• Gent are scoring an average of just over two goals per league game on home soil.
• Antwerp have gotten on the scoresheet in all of their last seven meetings with Gent.
• Both teams have found the back of the net in five of the visitors last six matches.

Home comforts for Gent

If we were talking about home form alone, then hosts Gent would currently be occupying the third spot in the table, securing 24 points from a possible 36 and scoring a hatful of goals in the process. However, they actually sit sixth in the table and are fighting it out for a spot in the Europa League. A place in the top four is not out of their grasp and a win here would take them a step closer to achieving just that.

Antwerp have been relatively solid on the road this season, winning over half of their away league games and it’s allowed them to currently occupy the third spot whilst they chase down Club Brugge for a Champions League qualifying spot. The visitors are conceding an average of 13.6 shots per game which is more than any other side that currently sits in the top four. Whilst they’ve scored in every away league game this season, they’re likely going to give up a number of chances.

Goals at both ends likely

We think that both sides have got more than enough firepower to get on the scoresheet and we believe that in this one, there will be goals at both ends. If forced to pick, we think that third-placed Antwerp will be more likely to pick up the win.
