Gent - Sint-Truiden predictions

We don’t expect Gent to have any issues beating Sint-Truiden. The hosts are largely favoured by all the top bookmakers online and 1.79 might actually be a good-value bet to consider. The visitors are not to be underestimated but on this particular instance the home side are seen as clear winners.

The away team’s chances of winning this Saturday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Gent, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

Gent’s previous away game against Westerlo was an altogether dull affair as far as the result goes, though they shouldn’t be unhappy with the 2:2 draw. Neither side managed to pull ahead throughout the runtime, but Gent’s opponents were widely considered the stronger team.

Sint-Truiden’s previous away game at Genk ended as a 2:2 draw. Sint-Truiden are likely much happier with this outcome than their opponents, though, considering they were clear underdogs and didn’t fare too well In the first half.

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

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Sint-Truiden’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

With several tied games behind them, the teams will be looking to switch things up to get the upper hand. Several matches between Gent and Sint-Truiden ended in a draw this season alone, so it’s clear they’ll need to get creative – especially the hosts.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Noah Fadiga, Nurio Fortuna, Aimé Omgba, Zalán Vancsa. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Kahveh Zahiroleslam, Joselpho Barnes, Shogo Taniguchi. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
