Antwerp - Gent predictions

Antwerp might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Gent are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

The visiting team is fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against Antwerp on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

Antwerp are coming off from a slim Club Brugge defeat in the last round of the Pro League. This time around they will be looking to tighten up the defence and avoid conceding in the first half which cost them a positive result in the previous match.

The away team’s home supporters were in for a painful show in the previous round, with Gent facing Union Saint-Gilloise on their home turf. Much like most predictions and bookies expected, their defences quickly crumbled and they were already behind at the 45-minute mark. This goal difference only increased with time, ultimately ending in a 0:3 loss.

Experts have pointed at Antwerp’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 8 goals over the last 3 Pro League games.

Gent’s defence seems to be their most prominent weakness at the moment. Having allowed 9 goals in their previous 3 games, it might be a good time to look at Over 3.5 Goals betting markets when it comes to their next match.

The last time we saw these two squads play against each other was earlier in this Pro League season. Antwerp narrowly lost. With the home-field advantage on their side this time, however, most bookies see them as the favourites.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

A Home Win at the odds of 2.08 is the most likely outcome here with decent value and a strong probability of success. This doesn’t seem like a good opportunity to take unnecessary risks.
