Gent - Antwerp predictions

Gent are not exactly firm favourites to register three points in this game but we still believe they will manage to defeat Antwerp. The odds of 2.47 might sound a bit risky but we still trust hosts can come out on top in the end.

Antwerp is a team that doesn't shy away from a challenge and we anticipate them giving their all in this matchup.

The 0:2 victory Gent pulled off at AS Eupen last round was quite predictable, but it was still a convincing show of force. They dominated the proceedings throughout the match, more than earning the 3 points.

Antwerp’s confidence must have taken a big hit last round. A drawn-out first half against Mechelen culminated in them losing a home game 0:1, despite being tagged as favourites before kick-off.

Gent tend to concede quite a lot when playing at home, strangely enough. For example, the ball ended up in their net more than 5 times over the course of their latest 3 home games.

This match might present a rare opportunity to go for an Over 4.5 Goals bet. Antwerp have netted 6 goals in each of their previous 3 games – which is quite a track record.

Even though we’ve seen Gent and Antwerp clash multiple times this season, none of the two teams managed to secure a conclusive record. There have several tied games throughout multiple competitions.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Björn Engels, Ritchie De Laet, A. Valencia Bajaña are the players that will be missing, which makes the Antwerp lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

Going for a Home Win is already a fairly safe bet but we’d like to shore it up even further. The highest-value way of achieving this is through a Draw No Bet wager, which shortens the odds to 1 but is well worth the price.
