Sint-Truidense vs Gent Predictions

• Sint-Truidense have avoided defeat in their last four league games, including against Club Brugge last weekend.
• Gent have failed to score in five of their last six matches (after 90 minutes).
• Both teams have taken the same number of points (18) from the last ten league games.

Oppose blunt Buffaloes against high-flying Canaries

Gent look far too short in the betting for Sunday’s league clash at improving Sint-Truidense. The Buffaloes were blunt again on Thursday night in a 0-0 draw with Sporting Charleroi.

Hein Vanhaezebrouck’s side have now failed to get a goal inside 90 minutes in five of their last six games. That is the sort of scoring form that should set off alarm bells with anyone considering them at a shade of odds against to take all three points at Stayen.

Gent have won just one of their last five league games against the Canaries, who are faring much better under Bernd Hollerbach. A year ago, STVV were 15th in the table with 21 points, but they  currently sit just two places below Gent in seventh with 31 points.

Goalless game could be on the cards

Backing the hosts to avoid defeat here looks to be the way to go. Sint-Truidense have lost only two of their last ten games and avoided defeat in each of their last four, including against Club Brugge last weekend.

The champions are having a poor season, but even so it was a creditable performance and should instill further confidence ahead of this clash. A 0-0 draw is the preferred correct score play for this game because of Gent’s scoring issues and STVV’s solid defensive record at home, which has seen them concede just three in their last five.
