Gent vs Standard Liege Predictions

• St. Liege have lost three of their last four matches in all competitions
• Gent are unbeaten in their last five H2H matches against St. Liege (W4, D1)
• Gent have kept a clean sheet in each of their last five competitive matches

Gent have the wood over St. Liege

Gent returned from the winter break to beat Cercle Brugge after extra time in the Belgium Cup last weekend, extending their unbeaten run in all competitions to eight matches (W5, D3). Friday’s hosts have held the edge in this fixture in recent meetings – Gent are unbeaten in the last five H2H between these two sides (W4, D1) and are fancied to get the better of St. Liege in this one. Gent have the third-best defensive record in the Jupiler Pro League this season and it would come as no surprise if they were able to keep a clean sheet on Friday – Gent have kept clean sheets in each of their last five competitive matches.

Winter break did Liege few favours 

St. Liege kept busy during the World Cup enforced winter break, they played four friendlies in that period, recording three defeats and a draw. The break appeared to do St. Liege no favours as they were thumped 4-0 in the Belgium Cup on their return to competitive action last weekend. St. Liege have now lost three of their last four matches in all competitions, conceding nine times in the process, with their only victory in that period coming in the cup, against Second Division strugglers, Dender.

Gent to win and both teams to score, no, will be the main selection for Friday’s game, with a 2-0 home victory forming the correct score prediction.
