Gent - Anderlecht betting tips and odds

Gent should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Anderlecht can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

It’s highly unlikely that Anderlecht will manage to get some points this round. Gent are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

Gent managed to hold the line against Club Brugge throughout the first half of their previous away game. They didn’t have nearly as much luck in the second, however, and their defence crumbled against the superior opposition, which all resulted in a 2:0 defeat.

Anderlecht can’t be too happy with their latest Pro League result. They were the slightly stronger team in that matchup against Standard Liège and took the lead as expected. Unfortunately, the lead crumbled away in the second half, resulting in a 2:2 draw.

Gent have displayed rather inconsistent defensive play in their previous outings. Specifically, their previous 3 away games have been marked by more than 5 conceded goals. They may be at home this time, but such records usually highlight deeper issues than a home-field disadvantage.

With 7 goals in their previous 3 Pro League matches, Anderlecht boast some of the most prolific strikers of the league. Top online bookies are predicting another action-packed game.

The last time these two teams met Gent managed to secure a solid away win, although it was rather narrow. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, especially now that they have the home-field advantage on their side.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 1 odds are great value.
