Gent - Sint-Truiden predictions

With the 1.54 being what they are, we don’t expect anything other than a home win. Pulling off anything else would be a gargantuan task for Sint-Truiden, so we’d stay away unless you’re looking for a long shot on purpose.

From the present standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Gent and the 5.50 odds given to Sint-Truiden to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be an unexpected upset.

We last saw Gent in a fairly favourable matchup against Standard Liège, which they convincingly won 1:4. That said, they needed more than half the game to take the lead, which is something to keep in mind.

Sint-Truiden are here on the back of an undecided match against OH Leuven. The odds were in Sint-Truiden’s favour, though, and they were the hosts – which means that the draw result was a disappointment.

Gent are on a bit of a streak when it comes to scoring. With more than 8 over their last 3 matches, fans are feeling fairly confident in their goal-scoring ability. Likewise, bookmakers online are fairly confident the Saturday match will yield Over 4.5 goals.

The two teams already met this season in the Pro League, with Gent taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Daisuke Yokota, Franck William Surdez, Tibe De Vlieger are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Gent’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

If you’re feeling confident, a Draw/Home wager in the Half Time/Full Time market is the way to go. It’s a fairly risky move, but likely the best way to get some value out of the match this Saturday.
