KV Oostende - Gent betting tips and odds

Though KV Oostende definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Gent are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

2.44 on an away match is what many punters run away from but Gent are a team capable of big things. Therefore, backing them in this match might not be a bad idea after all.

While KV Oostende’s previous loss will hurt their Pro League standings, it shouldn’t have affected their confidence too much. After all, they were fighting against overwhelming odds as visitors, so the narrow 2:1 loss against Gent isn’t exactly devastating.

Gent walked away with a 2:1 home win after their previous home game against KV Oostende. They were considered favourites going in, however, so it’s hard to take that match as an example of their current form.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Gent are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

Gent already showed us that they can occasionally stumble. Their most recent clash with KV Oostende, which happened earlier in the season, ended in a loss despite most bookies seeing them as the favourites.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1 at 10Bet.
