Gent - Westerlo predictions

Gent should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Westerlo can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

It’s highly unlikely that Westerlo will manage to get some points this round. Gent are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

The hosts are heading into the forthcoming Pro League fixture on the back of an away defeat. Gent held well for the first 45 minutes but a first-half stalemate turned into a narrow Sporting Charleroi defeat in the end.

Westerlo are coming on the back of a superb performance in their most recent matchup against Union Saint-Gilloise. The 2.07 betting odds marked them as the clear underdogs, but they overcame the disadvantage and pushed on to a 4:3 HT/FT victory.

Though they’re playing with a home-field advantage this time around, Gent ended two consecutive away games with fewer than 2 goals from either side.

Westerlo don’t seem to have any issues in the goal-scoring department. Their most recent records show they’ve score more than 5 goals over the last 3 matches, so they’re on a bit of a positive trend already.

The home team has a long and clear history of dominance over Westerlo. In the previous season, they secured several decisive victories, so it makes sense that the bookmakers labelled them as clear favourites.

Sunday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

We recommend taking up Pncl’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 4.33. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
