Gent vs La Louviere Predictions

• Gent have lost eight straight league games
• The hosts have won only once across their last 12 league matches
• The hosts lost 3-1 to the side which finished fourth bottom last term

Can Gent snap losing streak?

Gent finished last term with nine defeats from 10 after securing a top-six spot in Belgium, which included a seven-game losing streak to end the campaign on a low note.

That poor run was somewhat excused given they were paired up against the best sides in the league, but their 3-1 loss in their season opener against Sint-Truiden raised some alarm.

Gent have now lost eight consecutive league games, which makes it hard to side with them at odds-on this weekend. While they’re facing promoted opposition in La Louviere, the visitors lost only three times in 28 games as they jumped out of the second-tier.

The visitors can prey on the hosts’ lack of confidence, with Gent consistently underperforming their underlying numbers throughout the run. With little sign of their luck turning, the value here lies with La Louviere on the double chance market.
