Anderlecht - Gent predictions

Though Anderlecht are the favourites between these two teams, this is a fairly balanced matchup. All three possible outcomes of a Result bet are quite possible, which at least means we may get to see an exciting game.

From the present perspective, the situation is evident. Considering the strength of Anderlecht and the fact that Gent are given 3.19 odds to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a remarkable surprise.

Most of us can agree that Anderlecht didn’t give their best in the previous round against Mechelen . The first half went quite well for them, but a lack of decisiveness saw them fumble the lead. They had to settle for a 2:2 draw in that particular away game.

The previous round ended in a painful 4:1 defeat for Gent. The initial predictions placed them on even grounds with Sint-Truiden in terms of their chances to win. The first half started well enough for Gent, but the second half was completely one-sided.

The previous 3 times we saw Anderlecht play at home were marked by more than 5 goals from them. The visitors will need to be careful if they want to avoid conceding a lot of goals.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Gent’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Anderlecht have had the chance to play against Gent several times this season, albeit not always as part of the Pro League. The matchup recorded several draws and failed to produce a winner so far, but the favourites Anderlecht are hoping to finally gain a clear advantage over their opponents.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.87, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
